Election managers in the state like the idea of being able to count absentee ballots before the polls close on Election Day.
Lawmakers are considering a plan that would allow Wisconsin’s election clerks to count absentee ballots early. Milwaukee Election Commission director Claire Woodall-Vogg said allowing clerks more time to count absentee ballots will avoid the middle-of-the-night ‘ballot dumps.’ Some Republican lawmakers say being more open about absentee ballot numbers will help Inspire more faith in the state’s electoral process.
