Duplicate Absentee Ballots Sent to Madison Voters

Ohio voters need to be aware of the stricter photo ID requirements for the upcoming election, necessitating a valid, unexpired photo ID for in-person voting, including state ID cards and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs ID cards. Meanwhile, up to 2,000 voters in Madison, Wisconsin, received duplicate absentee ballots due to a clerical error, but the city has assured that safeguards are in place to ensure only one ballot per voter is counted. Affected voters are being contacted and instructed to destroy the duplicate ballots. The error has prompted calls for more transparency and accountability, particularly given the heightened scrutiny over election integrity in battleground states.
