Wisconsin election board follows court order, votes to accept partial addresses on absentee ballots

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.

A partial address? Is “WI” enough? Must it be legibly handwritten or can it be preprinted?

Since the courts and lefties make it so easy to cheat, why don’t conservative voters join in?

Serious question.

Because if conservatives were to cheat, they would find themselves in prison for 20 years.

Much like how BLM and Antifa are free to burn and loot cities, while people peacefully protesting a stolen election on Jan. 6th are doing hard time.

So all you need to put down now is “Charles Street”. And your vote counts. This is despicable. And also illegal if the legislature is being ignored. The Wisconsin Elections Commission was found out to be totally corrupt and lawless in 2020. They encouraged vote fraud in nursing homes. I thought they had been slapped down a bit. But I guess not.

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.

And where the hell is the Legislature? WI Legislature has a Republican majority, I believe. Why isn't the Legislature taking this to SCOTUS?

Answer: Because it's a RINO legislature, and they're happy to sit back and allow Democrats to steal elections from MAGA candidates.

Soros rules!

The 2020 swindle was just a practice run...
The 2024 swindle will end meaningful “elections” permanently...

Millions of ballots, already voted, are boxed and ready to deliver in all battleground states at 3 A.M.

The number of fraudulent mail-in ballots will triple to 4-5 million...

The number of migrant invader vermin voting will increase from 2020s 3-5 million to 10-20 million for the 2024 swindle...

As the President said: “What? Me worry?”

If it weren’t for the fact that the Deep State is a Uni-Party, EASILY, the Requirement for VOTER ID and “Only Votes Cast on Election Day”, which is a specified Date, shall be counted as Valid. ALL Votes cast or received after that date shall not be counted.

The State court has no standing and the Federal Court needs to step in or the legislature orders the election board to disregards the court and then impeach and remove all of the judges

“Wisconsin” on the envelope...

“Here’s another good one. It’s got the correct state.”
