WEC: Absentee Voting Push Will Cost Four Million-Dollars

The push to get more people in Wisconsin to vote by mail will cost at least four million-dollars. The Wisconsin Election Commission announced on Friday that it plans to spend four million-dollars to mail almost every voter in the state an absentee ballot application. The money is coming from the state’s coronavirus stimulus fund. W-E-C Administrator Meagan Wolfe says the money will be shared with local election managers who will do most of the heavy lifting for the November election.
