Listen to this article

“[W]e conclude that the legislature has the authority under Article XII, Section 1 of the Wisconsin Constitution to adopt reasonable election laws such as Wis. Stat. sec. 7.70(3)(h) to provide that state constitutional amendments are effective after canvass and certification. We further conclude that pursuant to sec. 7.70(3)(h), Article I, Section 25 was not in effect on November 6, 1998, when the offense was committed.

Accordingly, the defendant’s challenge to the constitutionality of sec. 941.23 fails, and his conviction is affirmed.”

Kenosha County, Fisher, J., Abrahamson, Ch. J.
