No more "Zuckerbucks!" Swing state voters rebel, approve ban on private money for elections

Mark Zuckerberg donated more than $400 million in at least 47 states for local elections in 2020. Even though the DNC believes that this was the most secure election in the history of all elections, Wisconsin voters didn’t like that sort of outside influence and have approved a ban on private money support in elections.
In other words, bye-bye “Zuckerbucks!”
Private money to fund elections will be banned in Wisconsin after voters approved a constitutional amendment Tuesday put forward by Republicans in reaction to grants received in 2020 that were funded by donations from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Voters also approved a second question put on the ballot by the Republican-controlled Legislature that amends the constitution to say that only election officials can administer elections. That’s already state law, but putting it in the constitution makes it more difficult to repeal or change.
The Wisconsin Republican Party hailed approval of the amendments.
“Wisconsin has spoken and the message is clear: elections belong to voters, not out-of-state billionaires,” said state GOP Chairman Brian Schimming in a statement.
What business does Zuckerberg have donating that much money in nearly all 50 states? Well, technically it was 47 and I would like to know what three states were not worth his efforts.
According to the FGA, “The five most populous cities in Wisconsin—Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Kenosha, and Racine—received nearly $8.5 million of the more than $10 million in Zuckerbucks that were funneled into the state.”
What a coincidence that millions were spent on Democratic strongholds. Why would Zuckerburg want to influence elections he has no stake in? Or maybe he does have a stake but we just don’t know it.
This is definitely a step in the right direction but of course, the side who wants everyone to shut up and acquiesce to the notion that humans are perfect and would not even think about engaging in any funny business hates it.
Democrats opposed both measures, which they argued would make it more difficult to conduct elections in the presidential battleground state. They also raised concerns about how the broadly written election workers provision would be interpreted and implemented by local election officials.
Elections should not be influenced by outside billionaires. We had elections before Facebook so we can have them without it. That should not be a controversial thing. But Democrats want Zuckerburg to fund elections in their strongholds and we can only guess why that is. It is pretty sketchy how he is trying to fund how these elections are conducted in nearly all 50 states, but I digress.
If your goal is to increase transparency and have more people accept the outcomes of elections, you would think the left would support this. But it's not surprising that they actively fought against it.
Elections should not be bankrolled by millionaires and billionaires and it's insane that people have a problem with this. But at least Zuckerberg can no longer fund partisan get-out-and-vote campaigns in Wisconsin, as public opinion vastly rejects private funds influencing this.
The DNC is truly the party of billionaires.
