WEC Stalemate Leaves Local Clerks to Interpret State Law

Wednesday, October 12th, 2022 -- 1:00 PM

(Terry Bell, WRN) The rules for poll watchers in Wisconsin on Election Day will remain the same.

The Wisconsin State Elections Commission split along party lines Monday, with all three Republicans supporting sending a notice to clerks trying to spell out what the law allows. All three Democrats opposed it, resulting in a deadlock vote and no change.

This means local election officials in communities around Wisconsin could interpret the state’s laws differently when people vote November 8.
