Wisconsin: Early voting? No, there's no early voting in many municipalities.

3. Maybe starting with a complaint to the GAB? Followed by a complaint to your Dem state legies?

They are required to send you absentee ballots so long as you request them before the deadline. But small municipalities without an office or regular office hours may not be required to offer absentee-in-person voting (aka early voting). Don't know the rules but someone at the GAB would.

Having lived in a rural setting most of my life, I get the sense that people in rural areas like to vote on election day. That's when they get to see a lot of their neighbors. It's hard to get them to make the effort to go early (requiring a call to the municipal clerk to schedule an appointment often followed by a drive through the countryside to the clerk's home).

You can get them to vote regular absentee, but I don't encourage it. Regular absentee voting is prone to errors (improper markings, missing signatures and witnesses, etc) that can get a ballot thrown out. Learned that during the Kloppenburg recount. I was shocked at how many absentee ballots were not counted because of errors.
