While many of us do, there will be three constitutional amendments for Wisconsin voters to consider on the November 3rd ballots.
That's the most of any election since 1995, and voters often complain the wording in ballot referendum questions can be confusing.
Voting advocates are urging Wisconsin voters to do their homework before they go to the polls, as the amendment process is difficult to reverse.
Once a constitutional amendment is approved by voters, it takes effect immediately.
The first question is about limiting the governor's partial veto.
It would stop the governor from using a partial veto to create or increase taxes or fees.
This got on the ballot primarily because of Governor Evers' 400-year veto, a way to bypass the Republican-controlled legislature to secure long-term funding for public schools.
Conservatives argued it would lead to property tax hikes.
The Supreme Court upheld Evers' veto.
If passed, the amendment would apply to all future governors, regardless of party.
Question 2 would ban state and local governments from ordering churches and other places of worship to close during a state of emergency.
That happened during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The last amendment question would ban affirmative action.
It's asking whether voters want to permanently block diversity, equity, and inclusion policies across public institutions in Wisconsin.
Baraboo police have a suspect in custody for an armed robbery that happened on Tuesday.
Police say the suspect went into a business, approached the counter, and displayed a knife, demanding money from the owner.
The suspect got away with some cash and fled the scene on a bike.
Police found the suspect and took him into custody.

The team says scammers often target fans through online sales and unauthorized sellers.
The products are often of lower quality and don't meet NFL licensing standards.
The pack takes on the Atlanta Falcons Tonight kickoff is at $7.15.

If you're not interested in watching the falcons at Lambeau, you may want to check out the journey the falcons born at Wisconsin power plants have taken so far this year.
Researchers say the birds have already traveled thousands of miles since leaving their nests last June, giving researchers an unprecedented look at where the endangered birds go after they take flight.
The groundbreaking data comes from tiny location transmitters placed on the falcons when they were chicks.
The technology is providing a first-of-its-kind, detailed look at the movement
of young peregrines, falcons are commonly thought to stay close to areas such as the Bay of Green Bay.
But researchers say these birds traveled as far north as Ontario, Canada, and flew south well past Chicago.
Wildlife experts say the peregrine falcon program at Wisconsin Power Companies is keeping our state's falcons from extinction.
