Wisconsin Bans “Zuckerbucks”

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Wisconsin voters on Tuesday approved two referendums that change the state Constitution to prohibit clerks from using private grants to administer elections and add that only appointed election officials can perform tasks to conduct elections.

About 11:45 p.m. Tuesday night, with around 91% of the votes in, 54% of voters had approved the first question and 58% had approved the second. A majority of Wisconsin voters must vote in favor of a constitutional amendment in order for it to go into effect.
