The Big Picture
Fair and transparent elections are the most fundamental building block of our government. When trust in our elections is undermined by unaccountable bureaucrats, voting rules that favor big cities over rural areas, and voter rolls with thousands of ineligible voters, our whole state suffers.

Josh's Plan
1. Abolish WEC
2. Move all statewide elections to November
3. Establish uniform voting rules
4. Scrub voter rolls

More Information
1. Abolish WEC
The Problem: Any serious election integrity plan needs to start with abolishing the Wisconsin Elections Commission. It was designed to fail, putting decision-making authority in the hands of unelected bureaucrats in Dane County. WEC has to go.

The Solution: Abolish WEC and transfer its responsibilities to an elected position accountable to the voters. This is how two-thirds of states already operate -- as well as all 72 counties in Wisconsin.

2. Move all statewide elections to November
The Problem: Elections for State Supreme Court and State Superintendent of Public Instruction are the only statewide offices that are elected during the spring local elections. These elections historically have had significantly lower participation than in November elections and have turnout variables (presidential primaries, differences in local elections) that advantage one party or the other depending on the year. These elections are simply too important to have them relegated to spring elections.

The Solution: Champion a constitutional amendment to change the law so all statewide elections are contested in the November general election. In addition, the entrenched political status quo -- on both sides of the aisle -- benefit from the short time period between the August primary and the November general election. Our reforms will move the statewide primary from the current August date to earlier in the year.

3. Establish uniform voting rules
Right now, voters in Dane County, Milwaukee County and a handful of other Democrat-run jurisdictions have more time and access to vote than people in rural Wisconsin. That has to change.

The Solution:
● Ensure equal access to early voting
● Eliminate ballot drop boxes
● End central count – votes are counted where they are cast
● Audit every election to ensure accurate results.
● Ensure our voter ID laws are followed.

4. Clean voter rolls
The Problem: Wisconsin's voter rolls are filled with deceased, inactive, and relocated people, as well as individuals who are not eligible to otherwise vote.

The Solution: As Governor, Josh will make sure only legal voters are on the state's voting rolls, and that they are regularly scrubbed to ensure inactive voters, noncitizens, dead people, or people who have moved are removed from the voting rolls.
