There’s now a lawsuit over Wisconsin’s bail reform amendment and welfare-to-work ballot question.
Two groups that represent former prison inmates filed the suit yesterday. The groups are not challenging the two questions themselves, rather the groups argue that lawmakers missed the spring ballot deadline by sending the referendum questions to the state’s Elections Commission instead of local election managers. The Elections Commission has already certified the bail reform amendment and welfare-to-work question for the April ballot. The Elections Commission says lawmakers made the deadline with one day to spare.
