Elections Commission To Spend $4M Sending Absentee Applications To Everyone

The Wisconsin Elections Commission says its push to get more people to vote by mail will cost at least four million dollars.  Almost every registered voter in the state will get an absentee ballot application in the mail.  The money for the mass mailing is coming from Wisconsin’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.  Iowa’s Republican secretary of state sent every registered voter an absentee ballot request for today’s primary election (Tuesday).
