Ballot Error in Wisconsin Town Disenfranchises GOP Primary Voters

New legislative maps led to incorrect ballots, affecting nearly 700 voters in the town of Summit.

  • Summit voters received ballots for the 73rd District instead of the 74th District due to an administrative oversight.
  • The error prevented Summit residents from voting in the correct GOP primary race.
  • Douglas County Clerk Kaci Jo Lundgren acknowledged the mistake and is preparing for potential legal challenges.
  • Votes for other statewide races and ballot questions cast by Summit residents are still valid.
  • This incident marks the first election with Wisconsin's new legislative boundaries in effect.
