Governor Tony Evers Official Portrait
Nine Republican-back election bills were among the 43 vetoed by Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers Friday.
Evers had indicated that was what he was going to do several weeks ago.
The Democrat says, “Republicans know that it’s an important part of our democracy to encourage people and not discourage people to vote.”
Republicans called the package of bills “commons sense.”
Evers has vetoed a total of 98 bills this legislative session.
That’s the most vetoes by any Wisconsin governor since records began being kept in 1931.
