Madison clerk resigns after being placed on leave over uncounted ballots [View all]

Madison’s city clerk has resigned after being placed on leave over absentee ballots that went uncounted in November.

The mayor’s office announced the resignation of Maribeth Witzel-Behl in a news release Monday.

Last month, Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway placed Witzel-Behl on paid administrative leave amid an investigation by the city’s Human
Resources Department into her job performance. That included looking into how 193 absentee ballots went un-tallied in November’s general election.

Now that Witzel-Behl has resigned, that internal investigation has concluded, city spokesperson Dylan Brogan said. Brogan said a report from the investigation would be released to the media once a waiting period stipulated in state law for her to review it before its release is completed.
