Wisconsin Elections Commission orders Madison to un-count 23 absentee ballots

The Wisconsin Elections Commission says Madison wrongly counted some absentee ballots that should not have been counted during Wisconsin’s April 7 election.

On Friday, the commission ordered Madison and Dane County’s canvassers to un-count 23 absentee ballots.

In Wisconsin, absentee ballots need to be received by the time polls close at 8 p.m. on election day in order to be counted.

Madison’s clerk’s office had the 23 ballots by the Monday before election day, which was well before that deadline, according to an investigation from the commission.
