Republican's bill would limit hours for in-person absentee balloting. (Wisconsin State Journal, 3/4/2013)
Excerpt: A Republican lawmaker is proposing limits on the hours and days voters can cast in-person absentee ballots even as such voting increases in popularity in the state.
The bill would have a heavy impact in Madison, one of several municipalities that have held extended hours on nights and weekends to accommodate in-person absentee voters.
Bill referred to Assembly Conmittee on Campaigns and Elections.
