Bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Panel Votes To Send Mail-In Ballot Applications To All Voters

The panel, which consists of three Democrats and three Republicans, voted to send applications to all of Wisconsin’s approximately 2.7 million registered voters to receive mail-in ballots.

“People like easy ways to do things,” Democratic Commissioner Mark Thomsen said, according to WPR. “And voting without waiting in line has become, in many ways, the norm.”

The measure would help lower the risk of Wisconsin voters becoming infected with COVID-19 on Election Day and avoid the dangerous situation of the state’s previous Election Day on April 7, which saw astonishingly long lines formed at the crowded polling sites.
