MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) – A pair of new lawsuits seek to re-allow election clerks to fix mistakes on absentee ballot envelopes.
The lawsuits were both filed in Dane County last week after a Waukesha County judge ruled last month to disallow fixing information on envelopes.
The first seeks to force the courts to address what a complete address is for the purposes of a ballot envelope, and whether having enough information on that ballot will let clerks fix it. The second lawsuit alleges that the ruling violates both the Civil Rights Act’s voting requirements and violates voters’ due process for threatening to reject ballots without notice.
