There won’t be any changes to absentee voting in Wisconsin.
A Door County judge yesterday dismissed a lawsuit that claimed the current absentee voting process breaks Wisconsin’s election laws. The suit alleged that voters have to include a physical copy of their absentee ballot request in their absentee ballot envelope. Wisconsin’s Elections Commission said the ballot itself is proof of a request, and urged the judge to reject the lawsuit because there is not enough time to change the entire absentee voting process at this point.
Today is the first day of absentee voting for the August primary.
