WPR:

A mailer from the Republican Party of Wisconsin claims voters can request an absentee ballot for the upcoming special election in Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District with a pre-paid postcard. But there’s a problem: Most voters returning the postcards aren’t eligible to request ballots that way, and the burden is falling on local clerks to explain.

“It just created a lot of extra work,” said Wausau City Clerk Leslie Kremer. 

Kremer said she’s received about 200 postcards in the last week. Except for a handful, they did not include a copy of the voter’s photo ID — a requirement in Wisconsin for most absentee ballot requests. Exceptions are members of the military, permanent overseas residents and those who are “indefinitely confined.”
