Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu calls it a “defiant and flagrant abuse of the law.”
The Legislature is joining a lawsuit aimed at blocking a Wisconsin Elections Commission guidance that lets clerks “cure” absentee ballot return envelopes.
The commission voted to let those clerks enter missing information on a return envelope – like, for instance, the zip code on the witness address.
Legislative Republicans don’t want the clerks to be allowed to do that.
The original lawsuit was brought by the Republican Party of Waukesha County.
