Governor Evers vetoes Republican-backed bills in Wisconsin
艾佛斯州長否決威斯康辛州共和黨支持的法案
In Wisconsin, politics is often defined by a powerful tool: the governor's veto.
在威斯康辛州，政治常被一個強大的工具所定義：州長的否決權。
Governor Tony Evers has frequently used this authority to block Republican-led initiatives, highlighting the deep political divide in the state.
州長東尼·艾佛斯經常行使這項權力來阻擋由共和黨主導的法案，凸顯了該州深層的政治分裂。
Wisconsin grants its governor one of the most robust veto powers in the country, including the unique "partial veto."
威斯康辛州賦予其州長全美最穩健的否決權之一，其中包括獨特的「部分否決權」。
This allows the governor to strike individual words, numbers, or even punctuation from budget bills, effectively rewriting them.
這項權力允許州長從預算法案中刪除個別詞彙、數字，甚至是標點符號，從而有效地改寫法案。
Governor Evers has used this power more than any other governor in state history, targeting legislation on topics like election laws, education, and taxation.
艾佛斯州長行使這項權力的次數比該州歷史上任何一位州長都多，針對的議題包括選舉法、教育以及稅收。
Because Wisconsin requires a two-thirds supermajority to override a veto, and such a vote hasn't been successful since 1985, Evers’ actions are almost always final.
由於威斯康辛州需要三分之二的絕對多數才能推翻否決權，且自1985年以來，此類投票從未成功過，因此艾佛斯的決定幾乎總是最終定局。
Critics argue this represents an overreach of executive power, calling it undemocratic.
批評者認為這代表了行政權力的過度擴張，稱其不民主。
Ultimately, the veto has become the primary battleground where Wisconsin’s competing political agendas collide.
最終，否決權已成為威斯康辛州競爭性政治議程相互衝突的主要戰場。
