Wisconsin’s Republican-led state legislature is challenging the ruling that extends the window to count absentee ballots in the state.
Lawmakers yesterday asked the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn Madison federal judge William Conley’s ruling from Monday that gave clerks an extra six days to accept and count absentee ballots. Conley said it will take that long for all ballots in the state to come-in through the mail. State law says all ballots have to be to local election managers by 8 p.m. on Election Day.
Republicans want the federal court to abide by that law.
