Wisconsin judge says voters who have returned absentee ballot for state primary cannot get a new one

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin voters who have already returned their absentee ballots for the state’s primary are not allowed to void those and request a new one, a judge ruled Wednesday.
They had wanted the judge to order the state elections commission to rescind its guidance.
The bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission had voted on July 9 to distribute guidance to clerks saying absentee voters cannot change their ballot after it has been returned.
Spokespeople for the Wisconsin Democratic Party and the state elections commission did not immediately return messages seeking comment on the ruling.
In that case, a Waukesha County judge agreed that the elections commission must rescind its guidance that allowed voters to cast a second ballot.
