Wisconsin Judge Rules for Emailing Absentee Ballots

In Indiana, Bartholomew County Democratic Party Chair Ross Thomas opposes Columbus City Council member Joseph 'Jay' Foyst's request to pause an appellate court ruling that declared Bryan Muñoz the winner of the 2023 municipal election due to residency issues. Foyst's legal battle stems from a ruling that he was not a valid candidate after the Republican Party missed a deadline to fill the vacancy. Meanwhile, in Wisconsin, Dane County Circuit Judge Everett Mitchell denied a request from Republicans to suspend a ruling that allows voters with print disabilities to receive electronic absentee ballots via email. This decision is significant as it aims to ensure disabled voters can exercise their right to vote independently, a matter of public interest according to the judge. The ruling will stand while the state appeals court considers whether to pause it before the upcoming November election. Approximately 100,000 Wisconsin residents face vision difficulties, highlighting the importance of making voting accessible to all.
