Wisconsin judge says voters who have returned absentee ballot for state primary cannot get a new one

Wisconsin judge says voters who have returned absentee ballot for state primary cannot get a new one

A judge in Wisconsin has ruled that voters who have already returned their absentee ballots for the state’s primary election are not allowed to void those and request a new one. The Dane County Circuit Court judge on Wednesday ruled against Democrats, who filed a last-minute lawsuit ahead of the Aug. 11 primary. Three Democratic candidates for governor have dropped out of the race and one has reentered it, creating a chaotic party primary. The ruling is almost certain to be appealed with voting already underway. Nearly 108,000 absentee ballots had been returned by Tuesday.
