威斯康星州三名选民向法院提起诉讼，要求推翻州选举委员会的指导意见，以便已投出缺席选票的选民能够作废旧票并重新投票 [1]。
这些选民的诉讼针对的是州选举委员会7月9日以4:2投票通过的禁令 [1]。该禁令阻止了已投票给已退选候选人的选民请求新选票的权利 [1]。据悉，近91000人已经提交了缺席选票 [1]。
诉讼要求法院阻止威斯康星选举委员会向约2000名地方选举工作人员发布该指导意见 [1]。选举委员会的投票结果显示，一名民主党委员与三名共和党委员投票赞成这项禁令 [1]。威斯康星州民主党支持这起诉讼 [1]。
威斯康星州初选定于8月11日进行 [1]。
Three Wisconsin voters backed by the state Democratic Party filed a lawsuit Thursday challenging the state Elections Commission's ban on ballot replacement [1]. The plaintiffs are seeking a court order that would allow voters who have already submitted absentee ballots to invalidate them and vote again [1].
The case centers on recent changes to the Democratic presidential race. Lee Goodwin and Sara Rodriguez withdrew from the race last week, while David Crowley withdrew on July 8 before re-entering the race [1]. The lawsuit aims to give voters who cast absentee ballots for candidates no longer in contention an opportunity to support remaining candidates [1].
Approximately 91,000 absentee ballots have already been returned [1]. The Wisconsin Elections Commission voted 4-2 on July 9 to prohibit voters from requesting new ballots, with one Democratic commissioner and three Republican commissioners voting in favor of the ban [1]. The lawsuit seeks to prevent the commission from distributing this guidance to approximately 2,000 local election officials [1].
The August 11 primary election is approaching [1].
