Radio host Joe Giganti sues Wisconsin Elections Commission over Polymarket election wagers

Wisconsin election-wagering warning challenged

Radio host Joe Giganti has sued the Wisconsin Elections Commission over election wagering involving Polymarket, according to gamingamerica.com.

Giganti filed the challenge in the Eastern District of Wisconsin. His lawsuit targets a warning the commission issued in July about the potential consequences of betting on elections.

According to gamingamerica.com’s summary, the commission warned that election wagering can cost voters their ballot under Wisconsin law. The available material does not identify the full statutory provision or explain how the commission said it would apply.

The report, published Oct 21, 2026 at 5:24 PM ET, provides no further details about Giganti’s legal arguments or the relief he is seeking. The source’s full article was unavailable.

What it means for prediction markets

• Voter consequences are the central issue: The reported challenge concerns the commission’s warning about election wagering and voters’ ballots, rather than a reported ruling on Polymarket’s operations.
• The legal outcome remains unspecified: The available summary establishes that Giganti filed suit, but provides no court decision or indication that the July warning has changed.
