Wisconsin to Vote on Federal Fund Amendments
News summary

Wisconsin voters will decide on August 13 whether to approve two constitutional amendments that would limit the governor's authority to unilaterally allocate federal funds, prompted by GOP frustrations over COVID-19 fund allocations by Democratic Governor Tony Evers. The proposed amendments would require legislative approval for federal fund allocations, which Republicans argue is necessary for accountability, while Democrats contend this would hinder timely responses to emergencies. New legislative maps have reshaped assembly districts, causing incumbents such as Clint Moses, Rob Summerfield, Karen Hurd, and Donna Rozar to run in different districts or against new challengers. Additionally, union voters in key states are seeing a renewed focus from both parties, with Democrats making explicit overtures to regain support. The amendments have sparked a partisan debate, with supporters emphasizing the need for increased oversight and transparency, while opponents warn it could lead to a more dysfunctional government. Voter approval is essential as the governor cannot veto constitutional amendments.
