apnews.com/article/wisconsin-constitutional-amendment-election-b363a19280b763eeccbab1860f11d5bc
Quick Glance: Decision of Wisconsin Voters on Election Funding Ban
- Wisconsin voters will soon vote on whether accepting private grant money to help administer state elections becomes unconstitutional. Republicans support the measure, while Democrats express concerns that conducting elections in the battleground state may become more challenging.
- The Wisconsin ballot on April 2 also includes constitutional amendments allowing only election officials designated by law to administer elections. Approval by the majority of voters would incorporate the amendments into the state's constitution.
- The measures in Wisconsin receive backing from Republicans and conservative groups but face opposition from government watchdog and liberal organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union, Common Cause Wisconsin, Wisconsin Conservation Voters, and the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin.
- The constitutional amendments in Wisconsin are purportedly aimed at making it harder to conduct elections and are based on false claims by former President Donald Trump and his supporters regarding widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential elections.

Quick Glance: Russia and China Veto US Cease-Fire Resolution
- Russia and China vetoed a U.S.-sponsored UN resolution on Friday calling for an immediate and sustained cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza to protect civilians and enable humanitarian aid for over 2 million hungry Palestinians.
- The resolution reflected a shift in U.S. stance, diverging from much of the world's push for an unconditional end to the fighting.
- While the resolution would have been officially binding, it would not have stopped the fighting or released hostages, but it would have increased pressure on Israel as its closest ally aligns more with global calls for a cease-fire.
- The Security Council had passed two resolutions on the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, but none had called for a cease-fire.
