Wisconsin voting groups call Madison absentee ballot defense ‘dangerous’
Six Wisconsin voting groups are now joining the Democracy Defense Project and Gov. Tony Evers in objecting to Madison and former clerk's legal argument that absentee voting is not a constitutional right.
The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, League of Women Voters of Wisconsin, Common Cause Wisconsin, ACLU of Wisconsin, All in Wisconsin Fund and All Voting is Local joined to make a statement…“We call on the City of Madison to immediately abandon this dangerous legal argument, take responsibility for disenfranchising voters, and work toward a remedy that respects voters’ constitutional rights,” the groups said in a joint statement. “We call on elected leaders across Wisconsin to reject rhetoric that undermines absentee voting and to recommit to protecting every eligible voter, regardless of how they choose to cast their ballot.”
