Hi John,

We wanted to make sure you didn’t miss this important update regarding election reform legislation in Wisconsin.

Key election reform bills are making their way through the Wisconsin State Legislature. These bills include:

Ending “ballot harvesting” by stipulating that only a voter, their immediate family member or legal guardian may return a voted absentee ballot (SB203)
Requiring any event at which voted absentee ballots are returned to the municipal clerk, or his or her staff, to comply with the same requirements for an early in-person voting location (i.e. “Democracy in the Park” type events) (SB203)
Ending the curing of ballots (SB212)
Requiring WEC to publish their minutes (SB208)
Broadcasting election night proceedings (SB292)

While our legislators continue to push bills through the lawmaking process, there are outside organizations who are mounting legal challenges, particularly concerning the ongoing inquiry into Wisconsin’s five major cities who took in large amounts of “Zuckerbucks.”

The State Senate and State Assembly are also considering election reform bills regarding preventing outside groups from exercising undue influence in election administration as we saw in Green Bay and other cities. You can read the full Assembly bill here and the Senate bill here.
