In a little noticed ballot initiative, Wisconsin voters, by a 51.9%-48.1% margin, rejected a proposed state constitutional amendment that would have prohibited “the state or a political subdivision of the state from ordering the closure of, or forbidding gatherings in, places of worship in response to a state of emergency, including a public health emergency.”
The Wisconsin Catholic Conference did not weigh in on the ballot initiative, according to a comprehensive list of statements on its website.
