The Wisconsin state legislature can't overcome the governor's veto so they have figured out a workaround for passing partisan laws. Make it part of the state constitution. It turns out if you both houses of the state legislature pass an amendment over two consecutive sessions, they can put it out as a referendum. If the referendum passes the new law becomes part of the state constitution. The trick is to put it up for referendum during an election with a low turnout, especially one where their side is more likely to vote.
