WASHINGTON D. C. (METRO) – The United States Supreme Court is not going to change the rules for counting late absentee ballots in Wisconsin.
The court yesterday ruled 5-3 that state lawmakers, not federal judges are the ones who write the election laws in Wisconsin.
The decision overturns a Madison-based federal judge who wanted to allow local election managers to count ballots that came-in as late as six days after Election Day.
The high court’s ruling means late absentee ballots will not be counted this year.
