Skinner Stays on Ballot Despite Voting in Georgia | Milwaukee News

A Wisconsin judge has cleared Republican Senate candidate Michele Magadance Skinner to stay on the ballot, rejecting Democrats’ claim she’s not a resident. Despite her husband owning property in Georgia and Florida—and Skinner voting there during the pandemic—Judge Jacob Frost found no proof she doesn’t live in Altoona, Wisconsin. Skinner testified her primary home is Wisconsin, and tax records confirm she’s claimed Wisconsin’s lottery tax credit for her Altoona residence since 2020. Her husband, meanwhile, claimed a Georgia homestead exemption with no property taxes paid in 2025. Democrats won’t appeal, saying voters will decide. Skinner, an Eau Claire County supervisor, now faces incumbent Jeff Smith in a hotly contested race. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
