Eau Claire Plans for Polls

Election Day isn’t until April, but Eau Claire’s clerk’s office  is already busy.

Deputy City Clerk Rebecca Draeger says they need lots of poll workers this year. It is a presidential election, and that always means a higher turn-out. Draeger says they have 400 people signed-up so far, but they’re looking for more. Eau Claire has 20 polling places, and each needs 11 poll workers who can work all day. Drager says the more poll workers the city has,the smoother Election Day will go. YOU CAN CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION.

When it comes to that ballot, as expected, there is now a lawsuit that is trying to keep former President Trump off the Wisconsin ballot.

Progressive activist Kirk Bangstad on Friday filed the lawsuit in court in Madison. Bangstad first took his 14th Amendment challenge to Trump to the Wisconsin Elections Commission, but commissioners rejected his bid. Bandstand says he doesn’t think Trump should be on the ballot because of what the former president said on January 6th of 2021. Bangstad said his hope is to take his case all the way to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
