[QUOTE="essentialsaltes, post: 75330479, member: 294566"] [URL='https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/10/politics/wisconsin-supreme-court-absentee-ballots-green-party-lawsuit/index.html']The Wisconsin Supreme Court told election officials across the state on Thursday -- a week before the deadline to mail ballots [/URL]-- that they can't mail out absentee ballots until the court decides whether to add the Green Party's presidential ticket to the ballot. The September 17 deadline for when the 1,850 municipal clerks need to mail out absentee ballots to Wisconsin voters who asked for one is set in state law. The 4-3 decision by the Wisconsin Supreme Court was split among partisan lines, with all four conservative justices agreeing that the process of mailing out ballots must be paused, while the three liberal justices dissented. Hawkins [Green Party candidate] was one of two candidates that was denied a position on the general election ballot by the Wisconsin Election Commission. The other is rapper [URL='https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/20/politics/kanye-west-not-on-wisconsin-2020-ballot/index.html']Kanye West[/URL], who has [URL='https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/02/politics/kanye-west-presidential-bid-legal-challenges/index.html']filed a lawsuit[/URL] seeking to overturn that decision. The lawsuit is still pending and could also impact the ballot-printing process. When asked what would happen if the justices order another candidate to be added to the ballots after they have already been printed, Wolfe said that "it would be incredibly complicated and difficult." Clerks in smaller jurisdictions across the state are likely to have already sent some ballots to voters, Wolfe added, though she was unable to say exactly how many were sent. Attorney Jeffrey Mandell, who is representing one of the people who sued to keep Hawkins off the ballot, said that changing the ballots at this point would inject uncertainty into an already fragile 2020 election process. "This could lead to unprecedented chaos," Mandell said. [/QUOTE]
