Up to 2,000 voters in Wisconsin’s heavily Democratic capital of Madison were sent duplicate absentee ballots, but a city spokesperson says that none had been returned, all affected voters were being contacted and there were multiple safeguards in place to ensure only one ballot is counted.

    Unfounded concerns, because receiving more than one absentee ballot for a voter doesn’t result in duplicate counts.

    because the ballots have identical barcodes, if two ballots are submitted, only the first one scanned will be counted, Brogan said.

    Also, once the ballot is scanned, the voter is marked in the poll book as having submitted an absentee ballot. That is another safeguard against the voter submitting a second ballot, the clerk’s office said.

    Not surprised to see this FUD being promoted by OP. Of course, he didn’t write the article 🙄

      Thanks for noticing that I didn’t write the article. If you believe any part of the article is inaccurate, I encourage you to reach out to the news organization that published it. Thank you!
