When you vote, your ballot is important. It's crucial that, as much as possible, your vote is handled by only you and your local clerk. That hasn't been the case in our state.
There are groups all across the country that engage in what's called "ballot harvesting." They offer to take your ballot to a drop box or clerk. Ballot harvesting means your vote could be compromised.
I co-authored Senate Bill 203 with Senator Duey Stroebel of Saukville to protect the integrity of absentee voting by banning ballot harvesting and in-person absentee ballot collection events.
Our bill states that only a family member may return a family member’s absentee ballot, or a person may designate in-writing another Wisconsin voter to return their ballot. A person may only return the absentee ballots of two non-family members.
Unfortunately, Governor Evers vetoed this common-sense reform.
