Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers has vetoed Republican proposals that would have allowed election observers to get closer to poll workers and required a new post-election audit
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers on Thursday vetoed Republican proposals that would have allowed election observers to get closer to poll workers and required a new post-election audit, while signing into law a bill requiring that political TV ads using artificial intelligence come with a disclaimer. Evers, a Democrat, also signed a bipartisan bill exempting purchases of precious metal, such as gold and silver, from the state sales tax.
One would have required a post-election audit, which Evers said he vetoed because he objects to Republicans' “ongoing efforts to interfere with and usurp control over election administration and undermine Wisconsin's election administration system.” Existing post-election audits already ensure that the state's elections are fair and run properly, Evers said. Another vetoed bill would have allowed election observers to be within three feet of election workers.
