Empowering people in all civic affairs strengthens our nation. Government must be an open institution that people trust, is compliant with open meeting and public record laws, and is elected through transparent, publicly funded state and national elections. We support fair, non‐partisan redistricting processes and oversight of elections.
Every citizen is guaranteed the right to vote and equal access thereto. We support same‐day registration, multiple avenues of registration, early voting, vote by mail, automatic voter registration, drop‐box voting, and making election days official holidays. We oppose voter ID requirements. We have the right and duty to inspect and count all votes and to have a voter‐verifiable paper ballot that guarantees accurate vote counting. The Presidential election should be determined by popular vote
Our goal is a government and an electoral process free of the corrupting influence of money. We support limiting out‐of‐state campaign contributions and oppose unlimited political spending. The U.S. Constitution must be amended to make clear that corporations are not people and that money is not speech. Wisconsin must rescind its call for an open‐ended Constitutional Convention.
