Wisconsin Voters Reject Republican Amendments
News summary

Wisconsin voters decisively rejected two proposed constitutional amendments aimed at limiting the governor's power to allocate federal funds, with approximately 58% voting against both measures. The amendments, backed by Republican lawmakers, would have required legislative approval for the governor's spending decisions concerning federal money, a response to how Governor Tony Evers managed billions in COVID-19 relief funds. Evers celebrated the rejection as a validation of his administration's work, emphasizing the importance of maintaining executive flexibility during emergencies. Democrats characterized the amendments as a power grab by Republicans, arguing they would undermine checks and balances within state governance. Historically, Wisconsin voters have approved the majority of proposed amendments, making this outcome significant. The failed measures reflect a deepening partisan divide over fiscal management and governance in the state.
