- A total of 493,039 absentee ballots were requested and sent in 2022, including online requests, indefinitely confined requests, in-person requests at the Clerk’s Office, and mail requests.
- A total of 347,984 absentee ballots have been requested through October 12, 2026.
- The difference, 145,055, represents a drop of 30% in absentee ballot requests between 2026 and 2022.
The Wisconsin State Elections Director reported a 0.002 error/rejection rate for the 2 million absentee ballots cast in the 2020 Wisconsin Presidential Election or approximately 4,000 ballots when the national error/rejection rate for absentee ballots is easily in the 2% range.
The drop-off in absentee ballot mailing requests will undoubtedly negatively affect democrat turnout, as they are the party that heavily relies on absentee voting to boost their candidates.
It is hoped that this dramatic drop-off will ultimately result in the proper respect being shown for those individuals who actually are ‘indefinitely confined’ and ought to be accommodated by having an absentee ballot mailed to them with proper verification to avoid throwing the hard-working Clerks and their staff under the bus when things go sideways.
