Judge Rules on Email Ballots

A judge says disabled voters in Wisconsin should be emailed their ballots this November.

A Dane County yesterday said voters who cannot read or fill-out a paper ballot on their own can request an emailed ballot to make voting easier. The ruling comes after Disability Rights Wisconsin sued for the change. They say forcing disabled voters to rely on someone else to fill out and mail their ballot is an unconstitutional hurdle. Wisconsin’s Elections Commission argued against the change, saying there’s not enough time to get an email ballot system up and running before Election Day. While the ballot will be emailed to the voter, they will have to physically mail the ballot back to the clerk.
