Another judge has said absentee ballots must be properly, and completely filled-out in order to be counted on Election Day.
A Dane County judge yesterday refused to issue a temporary restraining order that would have stopped local election clerks from rejecting incomplete absentee ballots. The issue continues to be absentee ballot witness addresses. The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin wanted a judge to give clerks some wiggle-room on those addresses. State law is clear that voters and their witnesses must put down their full address on any absentee ballots.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission had allowed clerks to fill-in any missing information, but a separate judge ended that with his ruling earlier this fall.
