MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin criminal justice advocates are arguing that Republican-backed cash bail constitutional amendments approved by voters last year should be invalidated over procedural flaws.

Wisconsin elections officials and the Legislature call the lawsuit a cynical attempt to undo election results.
