GET ME REWRITE: Meet the GOP Voter Suppression Caucus of the Wisconsin state legislature

 

Headline:  Wisconsin Examiner, 2/7/2024

Anything to make it harder to vote.

Last month, a Dane County judge ruled that clerks can accept absentee ballots with missing components of a witness address so long as the clerk can discern how to contact the witness. Republicans have criticized the ruling as being too lenient. Late last month, the judge ordered the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) to issue guidance to clerks on which components of an address are required. 

The bill, authored by Rep. Donna Rozar (R-Marshfield) and Sen. Cory Tomczyk (R-Mosinee), would require that the witness’ address include the street name and number, municipality, state and zip code. A Republican-proposed amendment to the bill would only require the street number, street name and municipality.
