Wisconsin GOP files complaint against Green Bay clerk after more than 150 people received 2 ballots
The Republican Party of Wisconsin filed a complaint Monday with the Wisconsin Elections Commission demanding an investigation after the Green Bay city clerk accidentally mailed more than 150 people two absentee ballots for Tuesday’s spring election.
City Clerk Celestine Jeffreys told local media her office will ensure votes do not get counted twice.
Jeffreys said the ballots were mailed around the time a mid-March blizzard hit the area, closing city hall for a day and forcing staff to work quickly to send ballots on time. She says mailing labels were printed twice and ballots got sent out before the mistake was noticed.
She says the city sent letters to voters who may have received two ballots telling them only to vote on one ballot.
