  • Two groups have asked the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to rehear a case on counting mail-in absentee ballots post-Election Day. Plus other updates.

The article from USA Today discusses a significant legal case in Wisconsin regarding the counting of absentee ballots. The Wisconsin Supreme Court, which has recently shifted to a liberal majority, is considering whether to rehear a case that could potentially change how absentee ballots are processed. Previously, the court ruled that only ballots with complete witness addresses could be counted, a decision that led to the rejection of many ballots in the 2020 election. The case, known as Teigen v. Wisconsin Elections Commission, could be pivotal as it might allow for a more lenient interpretation of what constitutes a valid witness address on absentee ballots. This comes at a time when election procedures are under intense scrutiny, and the outcome could influence future elections by either upholding or overturning the strict requirements set by the earlier conservative-leaning court.
