Senate Passes "Zuckerbucks" and Two Other Elections Related Constitutional Amendments

Wednesday, November 8th, 2023 -- 11:01 AM

(Bob Hague, WRN) The Wisconsin state Senate has approved three elections related constitutional amendments.

All three passed on party line votes in the Republican controlled chamber on Tuesday. One, dubbed the “Zuckerbucks” amendment, would prohibit private funding for elections like that provided by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg in 2020.

The others would stipulate that only U.S. citizens may vote in state and local elections and place Wisconsin’s existing voter photo ID law into the constitution. If they pass the Assembly, the Zuckerbucks and photo ID amendments would go to voters statewide in the April election.
