MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Kalshi pushes back as the Wisconsin Elections Commission warns voters not to bet on elections.
Commissioners issued statements this month reminding people that it is illegal in Wisconsin to vote in any election for which you have cast a bet. Kalshi’s attorney posted on “X” that the guidance is “unconstitutional and illegal” and that activity on Kalshi should not be defined as bets.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice is currently suing Kalshi and Polymarket, alleging the “prediction markets” are actually online betting which is illegal in Wisconsin.
