[Lekooks] Voting info & the 3 state referendums

[Gerald Flakas]

The referenda were put on the ballot in Waukesha County by the "non-partisan" () County Board to enhance the "conservative" vote turnout in the spring election. The first 2 exploit the anger over the Waukesha Christmas parade disaster to bring out the vote. Politics as usual, I'm afraid.

PLEASE VOTE IN THE APRIL 4 ELECTION!

Wisconsin Supreme Court - Janet C. Protasiewicz

Circuit Court Judge, Branch 7 - Fred Strampe

The 3 statewide referendums: VOTE NO on all 3
 Vote NO on all. These are a Republican power play in my opinion. The Republican legislature wants to make constitutional changes. Judges can already do the things these referendums want to do! These are Republican measures to cast doubt on our fair elections. You haven’t heard about them because Republicans sponsored these bills with the very intention of tricking people. We already have these rules and procedures. Our very own WISDOM group challenged the timing of these referendums (filed too late to be on the ballot) but were overturned. https://pbswisconsin.org/news-item/dane-county-judge-rules-amendment-referendum-can-appear-on-april-2023-ballot/

School Boards: Check out Come Together LC for information on who to vote for locally or in your school district. https://www.cometogetherlc.org/home
Another option if you are not far right Republican is to check out who WisRed (the Republican Party of Waukesha County) endorses, and DO NOT vote for them. 

In the Oconomowoc School District and on several other races only far right Republicans are running so I am not voting for any of them. Hope this helps!
