Spring Election Referendum Questions:  Our government has a way of wording referendum questions in what I call “lawyer speak”, making them difficult to understand.  One would think that common sense would prevail, and these questions could be translated into language that is easy to comprehend, however, it’s our government, so…

You won’t find the “lawyer speak” here, I will just do the translation for them.  You can look them up on MyVote if you would like more information.

Question #1.  Should Wisconsin ban the use of private funds in elections?  This question stems from the recent use of funds (over 350 million) donated by Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and his wife to “modernize” U.S. elections.  In Wisconsin, this resulted in illegal drop boxes, ballot harvesting, and other methods with the intent of boosting turnout in areas with heavy democrat populations.  NWWP believes that private funds have no business being used in Wisconsin elections.  Please vote YES on this referendum question.

Question #2.  Should Wisconsin elections be run only by certified election officials?  This question is related to the first in that some of the previously mentioned private funding was used to fund outside “third party operatives” to help run our elections.  NWWP believes that only rigorously trained and certified election officials should be allowed to conduct our elections.  As such, please vote YES on this question as well.

In summary, if you like free and fair elections, vote YES on both questions.  If the true will of the people offends you and you would like outside entities to sway the outcome of our elections, vote no.
