Assembly Speaker Robin Vos on the April 4Â referendum to amend the constitution toÂ
Reform bail
A constitutional amendment on bail reform bail reform allows courts to consider more relevant factors when setting bail for violent criminals. It strikes a balance between presuming innocence, public safety, and ensuring our judges have the appropriate tools to deal with repeat violent offenders.
The city of Milwaukee broke its homicide record for the third year in a row in 2022 and according to a 2021 news investigation, 1 out of every 5 homicide suspects was already out on bail or signature bond for another felony crime.
That means 20% of violent criminals in Milwaukee are reoffending! This amendment creates a two-tier system for bail between violent crimes and all other crimes. It does not eliminate a right to bail and does not interfere with the American principle of setting reasonable bail.
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 48 states allow courts to consider âdangerousness.”
Bail reform had bipartisan support in both the Assembly and the Senate. Both chambers in the Wisconsin State Legislature have approved this constitutional amendment for two consecutive legislative sessions, the amendment will now be proposed to the voters on the April ballot.

The local power struggle mirrors the divide over the national chairman
Ronna McDaniel has done the very best she could do under circumstances that are not favorable to the RNC and has managed to build up trust between the non-Trump and pro-Trump factions within the GOP in a way very few others could thread the needle and build the relationships.â âŚ
The problem is not really Ronna and the RNC but at the state level. They point to the problems at the state GOP level in Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. One committeewoman, who is not a Trump fan at this point, told me, âRonna canât fix Kelli Ward, but Ronna is fantastic at mitigating those types.â

Will we be able to see the WEC or Dane County and Madison staff involved with their tails between their legs? They shouldn’t even be involved in any recounts. Screw the criminals.

Ian it appears you are unfamiliar with how voting works in Wisconsin. I recommend you talk to your clerk or municipal workers who run your elections and get an overview. Even better, you could volunteer to work at your local election and help contribute to the safe, secure, reliable elections we expect in Wisconsin.

Volunteer? Hell’s bells. The proglobotic pigs have stepped up to and are snout deep in the public trough being paid $30/hr. Although they’re hired by Dane County, they’re effectively employees of President Trump and the RNC. The only altruistic people are the We, the People, … patriots who are observing, tabulating and pointing out obvious fraud.

Well it’s good to know you’re participating as an observer. Democracy only works with active citizens.

I just remember when I voted in person my filled out ballot that was in person by the way went into a drawer below the machine. I found that I did vote on my vote.wi.gov, but who did I eventually vote for? Were those ballots later shoved into the reader? Hope so, but not allowed watching so??? Same thing an hour earlier with relative who voted, ballot stuck into drawer. Ok.

I’d suggest you set up a time to meet with your clerk to go over the voting process. There are numerous controls built in to the process to ensure that your are identified, your ballot is issued only once per your registration and finally run through the tabulator. If your ballot is rejected, you are allowed three attempts to vote a correct ballot. And finally, at the end of the night, all ballots are individually examined for any extraneous marks or write-ins (your votes for Mickey Mouse are not amusing), valid write-ins are documented and finally all ballots are placed in sealed bags. Today, those sealed bags are with us at Monona Terrace and each ballot will be examined. Absentee ballots will be counted to match the number of absentee envelopes, and then the ballots will be rerun through tabulator for the recount. Again your clerk or election staff should be more than willing to explain and document your municipality’s process.
