Skinner’s Ballot Challenge Over Residency | Milwaukee News

Democrats in Wisconsin are launching a high-stakes legal challenge to remove Republican Senate candidate Michele Magadance Skinner from the ballot, arguing she doesn’t meet residency requirements. The case hinges on conflicting tax filings: while claiming a Wisconsin homestead credit on her Altoona home, she and her husband also claimed a Georgia homestead exemption on his Georgia residence — a move Georgia law explicitly forbids. Complicating matters, Skinner voted absentee in Wisconsin in 2020, then registered and voted in Georgia’s Senate runoff just 15 days later — an act that violates Wisconsin’s voting rules if you’ve moved elsewhere. With the election looming and the Senate’s balance of power at stake, this legal battle could reshape the race — and potentially the state’s political future.
