Wisconsin GOP mailer on absentee voting causing trouble

A mailer from the Republican Party of Wisconsin says voters can request an absentee ballot for the state’s special election in its 7th Congressional District, but most people who send in a pre-paid postcard included with the mailer are missing photo ID in compliance with state law.

Absentee ballots in Wisconsin require a copy of the voter’s photo ID, and most clerks report that the majority of postcards they’ve received in requesting absentee ballots did not include a photo ID, according to Wisconsin Public Radio.
