Voters in at least 17 Wisconsin counties and one city will see a question on their November ballots allowing them to weigh in on whether the state should accept millions in federal funding to expand Medicaid coverage through its BadgerCare programs.

County boards throughout the state have voted on whether to place advisory referendums on ballots this fall. In Winnebago County, where the resolution failed to pass, one supervisor's opposition was based on the idea that the referendum is "meant to get poor people out to vote."

At its Tuesday meeting, the Winnebago County Board of Supervisors failed to pass resolutions that would place two advisory referendums on the November ballot: one that would ask if Wisconsin should raise its minimum wage to $10.10 per hour and one that would ask if the state should accept the Medicaid expansion funds.
