Judge Keeps Skinner on Wisconsin Ballot | Milwaukee News

A Wisconsin judge has sided with Republican Senate candidate Michele Magadance Skinner, blocking Democrats’ effort to remove her from the November ballot over residency concerns. Despite allegations she voted in Georgia and owned property there and in Florida, the court found insufficient evidence to prove she’s not a Wisconsin resident — citing her consistent voting in Wisconsin since 2022, her recent election to Eau Claire County Board, and her lifelong ties to the state. The judge acknowledged her travel for family events and pandemic-related restrictions but ruled that her intent to maintain Wisconsin as her primary home outweighed those factors. Legal experts noted the lawsuit may have been politically motivated, especially after the ballot deadline passed. Skinner remains on the ballot, and voters will decide her fate in the upcoming race for Senate District Thirty-one.
