State Elections Commission orders investigation into Green Bay issuing duplicate ballots
The Wisconsin Elections Commission will investigate how the city of Green Bay mailed out duplicate ballots in two elections this year.
The commission voted unanimously Thursday to delay taking action against the city until a future meeting. In the meantime, the commission will investigate whether the city clerk or employees failed to comply with state law in the preparation and mailing of absentee ballots in the April and August elections.
As part of the same vote, the commission also directed the city clerk to submit a plan detailing how the city will ensure only one vote is counted for each person issued two ballots and submit a plan for how to prevent this in the future.
In April, the Republican Party of Wisconsin filed a complaint against Green Bay City Clerk Celestine Jeffreys with the Wisconsin Elections Commission after the city issued two absentee ballots to 152 voters.
