The Wisconsin Elections Commission has complied with court orders and will now tell the over 1,800 local election clerks they can accept absentee ballots that are missing parts of a witness address.
The commission made the move after members voted 5-1 Thursday.
The lone no vote against the new guidance was cast by Republican Commissioner Bob Spindell, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.
Previously, clerks were required to try to contact voters to correct absentee ballot envelopes that had “incomplete or insufficient” witness address information before accepting such ballots.
Wisconsin law requires absentee ballots to be submitted with a witness’s signature and address on the outside envelope that contains the ballot, according to the Associated Press.
Spindell proposed a failed amendment to the new rule to require a witness to provide a photo ID before corrections are made to an absentee ballot envelope.
In addition, the swing state's Republican-controlled Legislature and the conservative group Priorities USA have appealed two court rulings regarding absentee ballots that could result in more changes in election rules prior to the November presidential election.
Ever since Donald Trump, the leading GOP candidate in the 2024 presidential election, was defeat in Wisconsin in 2020 in his first reelection bid, Republicans have been fighting in court to tighten the rules to limit how many absentee ballots can accepted.

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution:
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
So tell me why the Legislature of Wisconsin is having to go to the courts concerning election rules? Aren't they the ones who are supposed to make the rules?
There is nothing in the Constitution about Election Commissions or judges deciding how elections are to be run.
In other words, the new "rules" will allow for people who live in mail boxes and nonexistent addresses file "ballots".
Here comes the steal.
Because I write half my address on everything...because I don’t know where I live
Wisconsin, where democrats go to perfect cheating techniques.
These laws that allow election fraud is why the country is over. The Democrat Communist Party will not play fair ever again because they get away with things like this.
You can’t have one side abiding by the rules and the other side ignoring the rules of a fair election.
“because I don’t know where I live”
I tracked your real name down using my super sleuthing ability. Here is your address:
Joseph Biden
600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington, DC 20500
USA
You might want to write it down and keep it in your wallet in case you wander away and get lost. /s
Serious question.
Yes, Dems want to steal elections. It’s why they are corrupt. They know many races would be lost if there was a true count.
It’s not voting anymore. It’s paper doily shredding
Uh, are you testing the Wisconsin election board's new ruling by giving a partial address? The White House is at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, not 600.
Because the so-called “justice” system has been warped into an arm Democrat Party.
Because conservatives tend to have morals and look at cheating as dishonest.
This won't change until conservative treat things like they actually are - a war, where infiltrating the enemy is fair game.
It is time for people to tell the courts to go f themselves. It is the Legislatures that have the legal authority to determine the rules for elections not some idiot judges who are unelected.
Invite me to your club and start running a tab and we can talk about how bad an idea his would be for us RINOs. Sounds like work.
Why not partial names and nicknames??
Republicans would be prosecuted and do hard time.
“Since the courts and lefties make it so easy to cheat, why don’t conservative voters join in?”
Because it’s not in their DNA. People who are right of center believe that rules and laws are what holds a society together. They also tend to be more religious (follow the 10 commandments). Just my opinion.
Yes, that was intentional.

Excellent question! The legislature should step in NOW and make full addresses part of Wisconsin election law.
