WI Judge Rules on Ballot Addresses

A judge in Dane County says absentee ballots in Wisconsin don’t need a full address to be counted this year.

The judge yesterday said the state law dealing with addresses on absentee ballots doesn’t specify just what information is required, therefore he says election clerks cannot toss ballots that don’t have all the information. The ruling comes after the Wisconsin Elections Commission last year was forced to change its guidance to local election managers about how to count ballots with incomplete addresses. Republican lawmakers say the ruling opens-up another opportunity for fraud in Wisconsin. The judge said rejecting ballots because of incomplete addresses violates the Voting Rights Act.
