Federal judge leaves Wisconsin election-wager voting restriction in place
A federal judge denied Joseph Giganti Sr.’s request to block Wisconsin’s restriction on voting in an election a person has wagered on. The ruling leaves the restriction in force but does not decide whether prediction-market contracts count as wagers under state law; the judge accepted that interpretation only for the injunction request.
The ruling leaves election-contract users exposed to Wisconsin’s voting restriction while its application to prediction markets remains unresolved.
