Scott Walker on Thursday said voters need to approve a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/indiana-republicans-pawned-social-conservatism-for-economic-growth-and-got-neither\/\" title=\"Indiana Republicans Pawned Social Conservatism For Economic Growth And Got Neither\">constitutional amendment banning<\/a> so-called \u201cZuckerbucks\u201d in order to keep politicians from sapping faith from voters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause elections are so important, you don\u2019t want to leave that to the whim of whoever is temporarily in charge at that time,\u201d Walker told News Talk 1130 WISN\u2019s Jay Weber.<\/p>\n<p>Wisconsin voters will see the amendment on their ballots on Tuesday. If approved, it would ban local election managers from accepting outside money, grants or gifts to help with election proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed ban comes after the Mark Zuckerberg-backed Center for Tech and Civic Life\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecentersquare.com\/wisconsin\/article_79a7efd2-826b-11eb-93dd-9b6f3a2a0aa0.html\"><strong>spent more<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0than $6 million in 2020 on election operations in Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Racine and Kenosha.<\/p>\n<p>Local election officials say some of the money went for hand sanitizer and face masks, but most of the money went toward get out the vote efforts.<\/p>\n<p>In Green Bay, emails show the CTCL group\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecentersquare.com\/wisconsin\/article_d12be19c-81e8-11eb-ba68-97e857c1a33d.html\"><strong>all but took over<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0the city of Green Bay\u2019s election operation.<\/p>\n<p>Walker said all voters should see that kind of outside influence as a step too far.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether you\u2019re a Democrat, Republican or somewhere in between, it makes sense the elections should be as uniform as possible in the state.\u00a0 That\u2019s why everybody closes their polls at 8 p.m. It\u2019s why you have similar standards,\u201d Walker added. \u201cWe should not have anybody outside of official government officials running elections. And we should have transparency along with that to make sure we can all see that they\u2019re doing the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walker said he\u2019d support a ban on outside election money if it were the Koch brothers\u2019 non-profit just as much as he supports a ban on Zuckerberg\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/more-electioneering-dirty-facebook-suspends-gop-ad-campaign-days-before-january-georgia-runoff-election\/\" title=\"More Electioneering: Dirty Facebook Suspends GOP Ad Campaign Days Before January Georgia Runoff Election\">left-leaning group<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Critics say Wisconsin lawmakers should deal with the question about election grants.
