Intentional deception

The referendum about marijuana on our ballot was about RECREATIONAL marijuana legalization, not medical marijuana legalization. Wisconsin citizens voted overwhelmingly in support of legalizing recreational marijuana. However, Evers only wants to legalize marijuana medically, not recreationally. The error presented in this poll is intended to trick readers into believing that Evers is in tune with their interests while actually molding readers' views to what Evers has already promised. I'm disappointed that the Shepherd Express is attempting to pacify the masses in the slowing of social progress and the support of a governor that does not reflect the wishes of his constituents.

Not quite

Some counties had a referendum about recreational cannabis legalization, some about medical only. Tony Evers did propose having a statewide advisory referendum on legalizing recreational cannabis (referenda cannot make state law in Wisconsin), but it is unlikely that our gerrymandered state legislature would authorize even such an advisory referendum.
