April 7, several towns and municipalities will have non-binding referendums asking voters to decide on what are called fair maps, concerning voting districts, and another question whether only human beings and not corporations or money have constitutional rights.
Spokesperson Jackie Cody outlines the questions approved by local boards for the election...
"Should the Wisconsin legislature create a non-partisan procedure for preparation of legislative and Congressional redistricting maps after each census. Then the second question has to do with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2010 in which we had corporations becoming people and money becoming speech..."
The question asks that the U.S. Constitution be amended that only humans are endowed with rights. Cody says they will hold referenda information meetings so voters can get more information...
