Ballot Back and Forth

Ballot Back and Forth

The judge’s order that bans voter do-overs in Wisconsin is on hold, for now.

An appeals court yesterday gave the Wisconsin Elections Commission a temporary stay so it can make a case for its rules on ‘spoiling ballots.’ That’s the official name for getting a second ballot. Wisconsin law allows voters to get a second ballot, but a judge in Waukesha last week said that law only applies before a voter turns their ballot in. Once that happens, the judge ruled, the vote is final. The appeals court gave the Elections Commission til tomorrow to make its case.
