The standoff over last year’s ballots in Madison is over.
Madison’s city clerk’s office last week quietly allowed state auditors to examine the ballots from last fall. Clerk Maribeth Witzel-Behl had told auditors they could not review the ballots, but she later allowed them to see the ballots as her staff handled them. A spokesperson for Wisconsin’s senate Majority Leader said that fell in line with the subpoena from lawmakers who demanded access to the ballots. The ballot review is part of the on-going, and still growing investigation into Wisconsin’s 2020 election.
