Important issue hi-light-

Wisconsin has a referendum called the citizenship voting requirement referendum, and if you live in Wisconsin, you should vote NO. (Edit: And if you can’t vote no, you should tell anyone you know from WI about it, because most people in wisconsin have never heard of it - I was a canvasser, I asked. Maybe 2% of my contacts were even aware of it out of hundreds.)

The whole purpose is to enshrine requirements in the Wisconsin constitution that are already required federally, like the requirement to be a citizen, or be over 18 to vote. The wording is that “only” us citizens can vote where presently “every” us citizen can vote. This is a distinction without a difference to most, but words have very specific meanings legally (a context voters don’t normally have and is thus an unfair standard to hold but that’s neither here nor there. I guess.)

That wordplay could easily be used to limit dual-citizen voting in the future, as well as currently pushing the false narrative that non-citizens are voting illegally.

Why the fuck is voter proof of citizenship involved in budgetary discussions in the first place?
