Wisconsin's Evers revives plan to enable voters to repeal and create state laws

Governor Tony Evers of Wisconsin has proposed a constitutional amendment that would allow voters to directly repeal or create state laws through referendums, a move that has met with significant resistance from Republican legislators. This proposal, which would require a two-thirds vote in both the state Assembly and Senate to appear on the ballot, aims to give citizens more direct control over legislation, particularly in areas where the GOP-controlled Legislature has been criticized for inaction. Critics, including Republican leaders like Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, argue that this would undermine the legislative process, potentially leading to chaos and the manipulation of laws by special interest groups. They also express concerns about the potential for voter confusion and the complexity of legal language in referendums. Despite the opposition, Evers and supporters see this as a way to bypass legislative gridlock and directly address public concerns, especially on issues like abortion rights and redistricting.
