LWV Of Wisconsin

Partisan gerrymandering has eroded the power of the people’s vote. As a result, we’re working to ensure the people’s voices are once again heard in our state house by creating fair maps in the 2021 redistricting process.

The US Supreme Court denied the Gear v. Wisconsin State Legislature plaintiffs’ application, declining to restore Wisconsin’s back-up option for voters who do not receive their requested absentee ballots in the mail.

LWV of Wisconsin filed an application in the U.S. Supreme Court that would provide voters with a back-up option to receive delayed mail-in absentee ballots.

A federal court in Wisconsin gave voters a back-up option to receive mail-in absentee ballots online or via email when they do not receive their previously-requested ballot in the mail in time for the November 3 general election.

The LWV of Wisconsin filed an amended complaint ahead of the November election seeking back-up options for mail-in absentee voters who do not receive their ballot in the mail, as well as suspension of the witness signature requirement for mail-in absentee ballots.

Attempts to suppress votes through voter purges have led to legal battles.
