MADISON (WKOW) -- Republicans in the state Senate Wednesday passed a quartet of election bills that are all but certain to be vetoed by Governor Evers should they clear the Assembly.
On a voice vote, the Republican majority approved a measure that would ban state and local agencies from accepting outside grant money and equipment that would help them administer elections.
The bill was prompted by hearings earlier this year when Brown County election officials said they were forced to deal with an outside consultant who was empowered by Green Bay city officials to give instructions at the city's central count location.
