Wisconsin voters have approved a constitutional amendment banning private money for elections. The constitutional amendment passed on Tuesday after it was proposed by Republicans who were fed up with the money funneled into elections by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, dubbed Zuckerbucks.

LET'S GOOoOoooo!!!
Sadly the government election officials are just as bad. We needed a judge to ORDER the State Election Commission to follow the law and purge voters who failed to return confirmation of address cards.

Megan Wolfe still has her seat, despite her appointment expiring in July 2023?

That is rediculous..
Hundreds?? How about they have 30 days to do it or they're all fired? Or at least the directors.
A Judge can still fire government employees can't he? If not then it's something we should fix from a legal standpoint.
A judge should be able to come into a government agency and 'judge' who is causing the trouble or breaking the law. In fact it would be a great way to clean out the government - if you are a high ranking government employee and you have broken some obscure statute or law, then it's grounds for termination. Citizens should be able to bring class-actions suits against goverenment officials, and it should be looked at by a judge or even a jury, and then the enforcement portion is that person is fired from the job and potentially barred from future government employment.
Thoughts? This just occurred to me but seems a good idea. Maybe I'll make a fresh post about it.
I think if elected officials are sued for not following the law, if the judge rules they were in fact not following the law that they should have to comply on the next working day after the trial or be fired and face civil or criminal penalties depending on the nature of the failure.
I mean, it sounds reasonable doesn't it? Yet where is this ever the case? Seems like a key part of fixing the country is holding not just the elected officials accountable, but those on the government payroll who are carrying out the policies. Also seems like we have the framework already in place to make this happen.
"Wisconsin has spoken and the message is clear: elections belong to voters, not out-of-state billionaires," GOP Chairman Brian Schimming said. Joe Biden won Wisconsin in 2020 after $8.8 million went into the state's largest five cities."
He's not wrong...but I'de rather look at the "indefinitely confined" voters. Way easier to prove Trump won Wisconsin.
I think ALL money should be banned from ALL elections, but hey, a start is a start.
how do that? They will just use tge media to oush their candidates and we won't be able to support our candidates financially.
That's great and all but they're already on version 2 of this scam. Now it's Biden Bucks, using taxpayer money and government agencies
How do we know this will be enforced?
it will be enforced on conservatives. libs will find a way around it.
