Wisconsin Judge Rules Absentee Voting Unfair | Chicago News
Description
A Wisconsin judge has ruled that the state’s current absentee voting system unfairly disadvantages voters with disabilities, who must mail in paper ballots — a barrier to private, independent voting. While the court agreed this violates ADA rights, it paused ordering electronic ballots immediately, citing practical and security concerns. The case, already delayed by an appeals court, now faces political pushback from Republicans in the Legislature. A trial date is set for August 12th, but voters will keep using the current system through November. The ruling underscores the tension between accessibility and election logistics in a pivotal battleground state — especially as military and overseas voters already receive digital ballots.
