JTN: A Wisconsin appeals court has upheld a lower court’s ruling forbidding the practice of “ballot spoiling,” requiring the state’s election commission to rescind guidance it had earlier issued on the matter.
The state’s 2nd District Court of Appeals on Thursday upheld a county circuit court’s directive that ordered the Wisconsin Elections Commission to rescind its earlier instructions issued to voters who wished to void their submitted ballot and cast a new one.
That practice, known as “spoiling,” is relatively rare in U.S. voting, though upwards of 33,000 voters in Wisconsin spoiled their ballots during the 2020 presidential election, according to the Associated Press.
That figure constituted about 1% of all votes cast in the state, which Joe Biden won in 2020 by about 0.63%. MORE
We care nothing for laws.
We will do as we please and dare you to stop us.
Because we know you can’t.
“The Wisconsin Elections Commission on Friday held an emergency meeting and voted to comply with the court’s directives.”
Well, how generous of them.
You know, we never had these issues back in the old days when we had election DAY, when you had to get off your ass and go down to the polling place, show a photo ID, walk into a booth, draw the curtain, and carefully punch out the little chad, then walk out and drop your ballot into a locked ballot box. Friggin’ democrats screwed up everything.

@The Democrats just love your sarcasm & projection. If we/The republicans win, everything is fine. But if we lose, they cheated, stoled it from us & we feel so violated. I’m gonna cry now. 🤣
Will the WEC issue a new ‘guidance’ to the county officials?
Will already ‘spoiled’ ballots be rejected in whole?
If you put this rule in place, it will tend to suppress the careless dumb shit voting bloc
Which, if you think about it, is surely a good thing
