Suit alleges Wisconsin city’s mobile ballot van favored Dems and is illegal

JTN:

The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) filed an appeal against the City Clerk of Racine, alleging that the utilization of mobile voting cites violated Wisconsin state laws.

Wisconsin state law (Wis. Stat. § 6.855) states that the office of the municipal clerk is the default location “to which voted absentee ballots shall be returned by electors for any election.” But there may be circumstances when the clerk’s office is unavailable for early, in person absentee voting. In those cases, the clerk may designate an alternate absentee ballot site or sites; but under state law, “[t]he designated site shall be located as near as practicable to the office of the municipal clerk or board of election commissioners and no site may be designated that affords an advantage to any political party.”

WILL alleges that the Racine City Clerk provided 21 alternate absentee ballot locations scattered throughout the city, resulting in advantage being given to the Democrat Party since most of these locations were in more Democrat areas.
