Wisconsin village got absentee ballots that were already filled in; clerk blames 'human error'

https://madison.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/some-voters-in-northern-wisconsin-village-got-absentee-ballots-that-were-already-filled-in-clerk/article_1ffa735e-472d-5139-9e96-cd211d9529dc.html

An unknown number of voters in the village of Kronenwetter have received absentee ballots for the Feb. 21 primary that appeared to have already been partially filled in, while others received ballots that had not been initialed by the clerk, the clerk's office said.

In both cases, according to a post on the Marathon County village's website, the mistakes were the result of "human error" and not evidence of fraud.

Voters who received one of the faulty ballots were asked to contact the clerk's office as soon as possible to deactivate the ballot and have a new one issued.

"We understand residents are concerned and we wanted to address the remedy immediately," according to the unsigned post. "There is still plenty of time to request a new absentee ballot."

The picture shows ballot marked for Dorow.....a Republican.

They were filled in for Jennifer Dorow, the most right wing candidate on the ballot.

county. Not surprised that they may be filling out absentees and intending to collect them even if the supposed voter didn't know they were marked as having requested an AB.
