[Updated] Wisconsin Election Results Referendum

Wisconsin Voters Rejected Two Referendum Questions Aimed At Increasing Legislative Control Over Federal Funds. 

Wisconsin voters rejected two referendum questions aimed at increasing legislative control over federal funds. 

58% Of Voters Said "No" To Both Questions, Preventing Changes To How Federal Funds Are Distributed. 

The Proposed Changes Would Have Required Legislative Approval For The Governor To Spend Federal Money. 

Historically, Wisconsin Voters Usually Approve Constitutional Amendments, Making This Outcome Unusual. 

Republican Lawmakers Pushed The Referendums Due To Frustration With Gov. Evers' Control Over COVID-19 Relief Funds. 

GOP Arguments Emphasized The Need For Legislative Oversight On State Spending. 

Democrats Campaigned Against The Amendments, Warning They Would Slow Emergency Funding.
