Wisconsin judge to weigh letting people with disabilities vote electronically from home in November
SUMMARY
A Wisconsin judge will decide on Monday whether disabled voters can cast electronic absentee ballots from home in the upcoming state elections. Disability Rights Wisconsin, the League of Women Voters, and four disabled individuals filed a lawsuit seeking this accommodation, arguing that many disabled people cannot cast paper ballots without assistance, violating their right to vote secretly. They also note that military and overseas voters can already vote electronically in Wisconsin. The plaintiffs seek a temporary injunction to allow electronic voting for the August primary and November presidential election in this politically significant swing state.
