Wisconsin voters returned more than 117,000 absentee ballots before one of the front-runners in the governor’s race dropped out and another contender jumped back in — but a judge ruled Wednesday that those voters are not allowed to request new ones. The ruling shut down a lawsuit filed by the state’s Democratic Party against the Wisconsin Elections Commission to allow the absentee voters to submit new ballots because of the race’s changing nature. Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Devin Remiker denounced Conway’s decision and tied the commission’s decision to larger efforts to “suppress” mail-in voting. “Their primary is already chaotic enough,” Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman Brian Schimming told The Associated Press earlier this month about the lawsuit. Rodriguez’s and Hughes’ names remain on ballots, and the primary election is Aug. 11.
