Wisconsin voters begin casting ballots at the polls in chaotic Democratic governor's race
The party-backed lawsuit seeks to let voters cancel returned absentee ballots as more than 100,000 have already been mailed.
- On Tuesday, Wisconsin Democrats began early in-person voting as a lawsuit filed last week with the Wisconsin Democratic Party's support seeks to allow voters who already returned absentee ballots to cancel them.
- The legal challenge arose after Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez and Missy Hughes ended their gubernatorial campaigns, while Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley re-entered the race after tens of thousands of ballots were already returned.
- As of Monday, voters had returned more than 100,000 absentee ballots by mail. A judge was scheduled to hear arguments on the ballot cancellation request, a rarely used practice known as ballot spoiling.
- The primary features candidates including Gov. Mandela Barnes and Francesca Hong, who will face Republican Tom Tiffany in November. National Democrats have expressed unease about the party's failure to coalesce around a single candidate.
- Democrats aim to retain the governor's office and flip both legislative chambers to secure full state government control for the first time since 2010. All absentee ballots must be received by polls close on August 11.
