The Wisconsin Elections Commission said Thursday it does not believe anyone illegally requested absentee ballots for another person other than the widely reported incident in which a conservative group received ballots for Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, Racine Mayor Cory Mason and others.
Conservatives online are raising questions about a Wisconsin municipality's mobile voting truck, alleging the operation is illegal and allows Democrats to commit fraud. But city officials in Racine say their concerns are unfounded. City Clerk Tara McMenamin says the city bought the truck because it was becoming too cumbersome to set up equipment at polling sites. The truck, which has been in use since the state's spring primary in February, parks outside those sites and allows people to vote early in the presence of city staff. The state Supreme Court outlawed absentee ballot drop boxes in July but McMenamin says that's a different issue. She says the truck serves as an early voting site, not a drop box, and follows all facets of state law.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) Two years ago, the city of Racine became the first and only municipality in Wisconsin to purchase a mobile voting truck. City Clerk Tara McMenamin said she pushed for the truck because it was too difficult to set up equipment at remote sites for early in-person voting.
