Read MoreOn Nov. 3, Wisconsin voters in 11 counties, as well as the city of Racine, will have the opportunity to vote on an advisory referendum regarding whether the Legislature should ban gerrymandering and adopt a process of independent, nonpartisan redistricting.
The counties that are holding these referendums are: Adams, Bayfield, Brown, Crawford, Door, Dunn, Iowa, Jefferson, Kenosha, Rusk, and Waushara. To date, 17 counties and more than a dozen municipalities have already passed such non-binding referendums, and by overwhelming margins each time.
In addition, 53 of Wisconsin’s 72 county boards have passed resolutions urging the Legislature to pass a law requiring independent, nonpartisan redistricting. These counties represent more than 75% of Wisconsin’s citizens.
We urge voters in these 11 counties to vote ‘yes’ on these referendums.
