GOP Files Complaint After Duplicate Absentee Ballots Sent in Green Bay

The complaint says 152 voters received duplicate absentee ballots and asks the Wisconsin Elections Commission to order corrective action.

  • On Monday, the Republican Party of Wisconsin filed a complaint after Green Bay City Clerk Celestine Jeffreys sent duplicate absentee ballots to 152 voters, one day before the April 7 spring election.
  • Blizzard Elsa forced City Hall to close, prompting staff to rush mailing processes; mailing labels were accidentally printed twice, causing duplicate ballots to be sent to residents.
  • Alleging violations of state election law, the Republican Party demanded a detailed plan for tracking ballots, arguing the error created risks of double voting and confusion.
  • Wisconsin Elections Commission Chairwoman Ann Jacobs dismissed fraud concerns, calling the incident "ordinary human error," while administrator Meagan Wolfe confirmed the voting system automatically rejects duplicate ballots.
  • Similar errors occurred in Madison during the 2024 election, where the clerk sent over 2,200 duplicate ballots, prompting ongoing scrutiny of municipal absentee ballot procedures across Wisconsin.
