Wisconsin Elections Commission Mails Postcards to More than 12,000 Voters Who Requested Absentee Ballots

(Bob Hague, WRN) Following an alleged attempt to falsely obtain absentee ballots, the Wisconsin Elections Commission is mailing postcards to some voters who requested them.

The Commission will continue a postcard initiative as an additional step to ensure absentee voting remains secure and reliable. On Monday, the WEC mailed more than 12,000 postcards to affirm that those voters who requested to have their absentee ballot sent to an address other than their voter registration address did so themselves.

The postcard serves as a transaction confirmation, alerting voters that a request was submitted in their name.
