MacIver News Minute: Wisconsin Voters Deserve Better

Wisconsin voters deserve better. For the second time this year, the Green Bay City Clerk’s office mailed duplicate absentee ballots to voters due to yet another printing error.In April, 152 voters received duplicates ahead of the spring election. Now, just months later, an unknown number in multiple wards have been sent extras ahead of the August primary. Once is a mistake. Twice is a pattern that erodes trust.Voters deserve a full investigation by the Wisconsin Elections Commission, full public disclosure of the numbers involved, and concrete steps to ensure only one ballot per voter is counted. Vague promises aren’t enough.Election integrity matters. Every valid vote must count, and every failure must be fixed with real accountability. Voter confidence is critical in securing and preserving freedom.
