Wisconsin’s governor has vetoed legislation that would restrict county clerks and the state election commission from accepting some private funding for administering elections.

Assembly Bill 173 would “generally prohibit any county or municipality from applying for or accepting any non-governmental grants or donations for election administration,” Gov. Tony Evers said in a statement to members of the assembly.
