The Wisconsin Senate has approved four significant Republican-sponsored changes to state election rules.
Four bills passed Wednesday would allow the Wisconsin Elections Commission to order city clerks to follow state law, would let observers watch recount workers from three feet away, would determine where election law violators go to trial, and would prohibit election officials or local governments from getting private grants to pay for administering an election.
Republicans have said there were issues with the 2020 general election that need to be corrected.
