Article: Dane County seeks clarity on definitions of ‘election official,’ ‘task’ to complying with constitutional amendments
Dane County’s corporation counsel has asked Dem AG Josh Kaul for guidance on what constitutes an “election official” and a “task” when trying to implement new constitutional amendments voters approved in April.
Carlos Pabellón also argued “election official” should be defined by a law that states it’s “any individual who is charged with any duties related to the conduct of an election.” Otherwise, there’s the possibility that local clerks, their employees and others could be barred from running elections this fall.
Pabellón’s request last week for an attorney general’s opinion comes after voters approved two amendments during the April election. One barred the use of private funds to cover the public costs to administer an election. The second one restricts who may perform tasks in primaries, elections and referendums to “an election official designated by law.”

Article: County Purchases New Building for Voting Center Across from Courthouse
05/23/2023
Macoupin County voters will have a new place to early vote in person starting in 2024, County Clerk Pete Duncan announced recently. The County has purchased an office building just across the street from the Courthouse in Carlinville that will serve as the Macoupin Voting Center.
Utilizing the grant the Election Office received as being named one of the ten Centers for Election Excellence nationwide, Duncan worked with the County Board to purchase the building without using any taxpayer dollars. The grant covered the costs of the purchase and will cover the necessary upgrades and renovations to the building. For example, a ramp will need to installed for access to the main floor for better access to the public.
“I appreciate that the County Board agreed with me that using the Election Excellence grant, we should create a voting center as part of the Courthouse complex,” Duncan said. Voters who wish to vote early in person will now be able to utilize the parking right outside the building entrance, walk right in, and cast their ballot instead of trying to find parking around the Courthouse and going through the security entrance to get to the next floor up from the public entrance to vote.

The Bharat Express News- Article: Wisconsin Voters Introduce Amendments that Could ‘Undermine’ State Elections

Article: WI voters sign two amendments that election officials worry will harm election administration in the state.
While it was clear that Joe Biden and Donald Trump would win their respective primaries in Wisconsin on Tuesday, voters in the state pulled off other surprises by backing Republican-backed election amendments and registering a significant anti-war protest vote.
Wisconsin voters on Tuesday signed into the state constitution two amendments that election officials and voting rights advocates worry will harm election administration in the state.
The first prohibits election offices from accessing private subsidies — a source of revenue that election officials relied on in 2020 to conduct elections during the pandemic and have since been used to stock voting equipment in polling places.

Article: Another Team Biden Big Lie, Zuckerbucks banned in Wisconsin, Title IX rewrite strategically delayed, and more.
Another Team Biden Big Lie: If Joe Biden’s biggest reelection obstacle can be boiled down to one word, that word would be “age.” A whopping 86% of Americans think he’s too old to run for a second term. But a close second to “age” would be “immigration.” Not only is this the single most important issue to American voters, but it’s also the issue on which Donald Trump owns the greatest advantage over our decrepit president — an eye-popping 28 points, according to one recent poll. So we shouldn’t be surprised that Team Biden is trotting out another Big Lie to try to cut into Trump’s big lead on this issue. This time, they deceptively edited a video of Trump’s remarks at a recent rally to make it seem like he called all immigrants “animals.” He didn’t. Here’s the necessary context preceding the remark. As it makes clear, Trump was talking about one specific immigrant — the 26-year-old Venezuelan dog who murdered Laken Riley. As Trump put it: “The 22-year-old nursing student in Georgia who was barbarically murdered by an illegal alien animal — the Democrats say, ‘Please don’t call them animals, they’re humans.’ I said, ‘No, they’re not humans, they’re animals,’” adding, “Nancy Pelosi told me that. She said, ‘Please don’t use the word animals when you’re talking about these people.’ I said, ‘I’ll use the word animal because that’s what they are.’” It’s funny, not funny, how what’s good for the Trump goose isn’t good for the Biden gander. On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre lectured a reporter who asked about Biden’s reference to a “bloodbath” back in 2020. Recall that Team Biden and their mainstream media brethren pounced on Trump when he used the word recently in reference to the auto industry, dishonestly asserting that Trump was referring to a nationwide bloodbath should he lose the 2024 election. As KJP pathetically said Tuesday, “You’ve got to read what he said in context.” Oh.

Article: WI voter have made it clear that they do not want “Zuckerbucks” or dark-money interests influencing their local elections.
Wisconsin voters approved two constitutional amendments on Tuesday that the RNC says “will enshrine the principles of election integrity into the lawbooks.”
Fifty-four percent of voters approved Question 1 banning the state from accepting private funds or equipment for election administration, commonly referred to as “Zuckerbucks.” According to the RNC, this ensures that “outsiders can’t manipulate the will of hardworking Wisconsin families when they cast their ballots.” Question 2 passed with 58.58 percent of the vote and mandates that only designated election officials can administer elections.
“Wisconsin voters have made it clear that they do not want Zuckerbucks or dark-money interests influencing their local elections,” RNC Chairman Michael Whatley said in a statement. “The RNC and RPW were proud to help drive this crucial victory and ensure strong poll-watching coverage across Wisconsin to ensure a transparent voting process. This win emphasizes that Americans support basic election integrity safeguards in battleground states like Wisconsin and around the country.”
