Overview
- The Republican Party of Wisconsin filed a complaint Monday asking the state elections commission to investigate the Green Bay error and to require a plan to track any duplicates.
- Green Bay Clerk Celestine Jeffreys said a mid-March blizzard led staff to print mailing labels twice, which caused 152 voters to receive a second absentee ballot.
- Jeffreys said the city mailed letters telling affected voters to use only one ballot to ensure that only one vote is cast per person.
- WEC Chair Ann Jacobs called the cases human error and Administrator Meagan Wolfe said clerks must reject a second ballot from the same voter during the public counting process.
- Racine issued a corrected “B” ballot after a municipal judge race was left off the first version, and any earlier “A” ballot is logged and not counted if a “B” ballot arrives.
