The city clerk of Madison has been placed on administrative leave amidst an ongoing investigation into the failure to count 193 absentee ballots during a presidential election. Elections officials in Wisconsin are thoroughly examining the situation, highlighting the surprise and concern from state election commissioners regarding the incident. A class-action lawsuit has been initiated against the City of Madison and Dane County, as voters whose ballots went uncounted seek damages. The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign is calling for transparency and solutions as officials continue their inquiry into the uncounted ballots crisis. Law Forward, a liberal law firm, is also pursuing legal action for the mishandling of absentee ballots. As the investigation unfolds, there are indications that the clerk’s contract may not be renewed.
