A #Wisconsin #primary that Republicans had hoped would gift the legislature more control over state spending
#backfired on Tuesday after voters turned out in record numbers
— including in a major Democratic stronghold.

The proposed #constitutional #amendments galvanized Democrats and their allies on the left, who vastly outspent their Republican counterparts on the initiatives
— and won by a large margin.

More than 26% of registered voters turned out statewide in what had been expected to be a quiet late summer primary election.

The results could bode badly for former President Trump’s chances on election day in this key swing state
— showing Democrats are already highly motivated.
