I read half the article before I gave up. The author wanted to rant about Zuckerburg, but would not explain the significance of the amendments.

I agree, not much detail about ammendments. Here is what I found from a Wisconsin website:

https://statedemocracy.law.wisc.edu/explainers/2024/explainer-proposed-wisconsin-constitutional-amendments-on-election-administration/

Wisconsin Question 1: No Private Funds to Administer Elections Amendment

The first proposed amendment on the April ballot would add language to the Wisconsin Constitution declaring that no state or local agency, officer, or employee “may apply for, accept, expend, or use any moneys or equipment in connection with the conduct of any primary, election, or referendum if the moneys or equipment are donated or granted by an individual or nongovernmental entity.”

Wisconsin Question 2: Only Designated Election Officials to Conduct Elections Amendment

The second proposed amendment on the April ballot would prohibit “any individual other than an election official designated by law from performing any task in the conduct of any primary, election, or referendum.”

The legislative record on this proposed amendment is relatively thin, providing little concrete guidance on the amendment’s intended scope. A few snippets of legislative testimony from supporters of the amendment convey a desire to ban the use of outside elections consultants, like those who advised on election administration in 2020. A description from the Legislative Reference Bureau, however, largely just repeats the proposal’s language, explaining that it would “prohibit[] any individual other than an election official designated by law from performing any task in the conduct of any primary, election, or referendum” and “[p]rohibit[] any individual other than an election official designated by law from performing any task in election administration.”
