Bi-Partisan Look At Election Reform In State

MADISON, WI (MetroSoure-WSAU) — The latest pitch for election reforms in Wisconsin has buy-in from both Republicans and Democrats.

A group of lawmakers yesterday suggested new laws that would add security for poll workers, require military ID numbers for all military ballots in the state, stop local election managers from closing more than half of their polls, and would have the state cover the costs of special elections.

Supporters say the idea is to make Wisconsin’s elections safer and more secure. It’s not clear, however, if Governor Evers will sign the reforms. He’s opposed other election changes in the past.
