Wisconsin Election Issues and Amendments Highlighted

Recent developments in Wisconsin's election process include criticism from the RNC over Milwaukee's ballot counting, with demands for a restart to ensure efficiency and transparency, and a successful lawsuit for improved poll watcher access. Wisconsin voters approved a constitutional amendment stipulating only U.S. citizens can vote, aligning with efforts in other states to prevent noncitizen voting, despite opposition claims of stoking unfounded fears. Record voter turnout was noted at UW-Stout, with students voting in high numbers, reflecting increased civic engagement among young voters. Robust absentee voting has been observed, with over 1.1 million votes cast, highlighting the significance of absentee ballots. The Wisconsin Elections Commission continues to emphasize using official information sources to prevent misinformation around voter registration.
