Tranche 2: Voters Illegally Claiming Indefinite Confinement (IC) Status as a Reason to Vote
Absentee. Wisconsin did not allow the COVID-19 quarantine as a reason to claim
indefinitely confined status.
Kinda' splitting hairs. Were they otherwise legally entitles to vote? If they requested the ballot and it was sent, it's not necessarily the voter's fault.

Jaywalking is against the law, too, but you are otherwise entitled to cross the street. You can't send the violator back across the street to "make it right".

It’s not splitting hairs when the Democrat election officials guided the public to use the designation when the Democrat election officials knew it didn’t apply. Splitting hairs. frick you and all sophists.

Wisconsin has voter ID laws. Except for "Indefinite Confinment"

quote:

WEC (Wisconsin Elections Commission) told the clerks they are under no obligation to confirm voters’ “indefinitely confined” status. If they want to try, “they should do so using discretion and respect to voters’ privacy regarding their medical and disability status,” WEC advised in a May 13th memo.

However, even if clerks are able to confirm a voter is not really indefinitely confined, there’s really nothing they can do about it.

“All changes to status must be made in writing and by the voter’s request,” WEC explained.

Since then the number of “indefinitely confined” voters has soared. Every county in the state has seen a significant increase. On the low end, Grant County saw a 10% increase (with 142 individuals) and on the high end, Menominee County had a 1000% increase (60 individuals).

Milwaukee County went from 42,359 to 53,494 – a 29% increase. Dane County went from 19,406 to 24,446 – a 26% increase. Both counties actively encouraged voters to identify as indefinitely confined in the run up to the April election.

Dane County Clerk Scott McDonell even took it upon himself to declare all voters in the county were indefinitely confined. After he did that, the Legislative Reference Bureau quickly explained that anyone falsely claiming to be indefinitely confined is breaking the law.


That was for the primaries. It was even higher for the general.



quote:

“If a voter votes absentee knowing that he or she is not confined because of age, illness, infirmity, or disability, he or she could not only face civil and criminal penalties, but also have their vote challenged during the canvass. A court would need to determine whether a voter, in committing this act, relied in good faith on the instructions of a municipal clerk,” LRB wrote in a Mar. 26th memo.


This was not allowed to happen.
