Judge Rules Wisconsin Voters with Print Disabilities Can Receive Absentee Ballots via Email
News summary

A Dane County judge has ruled that Wisconsin voters with print disabilities can receive absentee ballots via email for the upcoming November election, addressing concerns from disabled voters who found paper ballots inaccessible. The ruling does not permit the electronic return of ballots, with plaintiffs continuing to seek this provision. The Wisconsin Elections Commission, a defendant in the lawsuit, argued that implementing email ballot delivery would be challenging and time-consuming, but the judge's decision will stand until further court hearings. This ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by Disability Rights Wisconsin, the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin, and four disabled voters, who argue that the lack of electronic voting options violates their right to privacy and independence. The temporary ruling may be appealed, highlighting ongoing efforts to ensure voting accessibility for disabled individuals in a state with a highly decentralized election system.
