A judge has ruled that Wisconsin voters who have already returned their absentee ballots for the state’s gubernatorial primary are not allowed to void those and request a new ballot, according to a report by the Associated Press.
The Democratic Party had filed a lawsuit seeking to give voters another chance to cast an absentee ballot because of a chaotic primary in the governor’s race in which Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez dropped out and Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley reentered the race.
More than 117,000 absentee ballots had been returned by Wednesday, July 29.
Rodriguez’s name remains on the ballot, as does former state economic development director Missy Hughes, who dropped out in June.
