Wisconsin Democrats push elections commission to rescind guidance on absentee ballot revotes
The Democratic Party of Wisconsin has requested the Wisconsin Elections Commission to retract guidance limiting voters from changing absentee ballots if their preferred candidate withdraws. The guidance, issued July 9, states that a candidate's withdrawal is not sufficient reason for a new ballot, contradicting prior state law and legal precedents. Over 80,000 absentee ballots have already been returned ahead of the Aug. 11 primary.
