A Wisconsin judge ruled that the city of Racine violated state law by using a mobile van to collect absentee ballots, benefiting Democrats unfairly.
The van was funded by a nonprofit linked to Mark Zuckerberg.
The decision came after a voter sued, and the judge found that the use of the van was contrary to law. (Trending: Clintons Scramble To Delete Embarrassing Photo, But Were Too Slow)
The ruling could impact voting rules in Wisconsin as the 2024 presidential election approaches, and the judge agreed that the van benefited Democrats.
Judge Gasiorkiewicz said, “Nothing in the statutory language detailing the procedures by which absentee ballots may be cast mentions mobile van absentee ballot sites or anything like them. Such an interpretation was and is contrary to law.”
“The statute in question clearly and unequivocally indicates that chosen alternate absentee balance balloting sites cannot afford an advantage to any political party,” wrote Judge Gasiorkiewicz.
“The filings in this case clearly indicated that the alternate sites chosen clearly favored members of the Democratic Party or those with known Democratic Party leanings,” he continued.
WILL Deputy Counsel Lucas Vebber said, “Wisconsin voters should know that their elections are secure, and that election administration does not favor one political party over another. This decision does just that. WILL’s policy and legal expertise allow us to hold government actors accountable to the rule of law at all levels.”
The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) celebrated the decision as a win for election integrity.
