Fiserv Forum and Miller Park will not be used for in-person absentee voting for the November election after all, the Milwaukee Election Commission announced Tuesday.
Election Commission Executive Director Claire Woodall-Vogg cited “legal challenge concerns” as the reason behind the change.
In an interview with the Journal Sentinel, she cited a ruling in which U.S. District Judge William Conley rejected requests to expand early voting and a notice from the Wisconsin Elections Commission to clerks stating WEC has “no ability to authorize” clerks to designate alternate or additional sites for in-person absentee voting for the November election. Those sites must have been designated by June 12, according to the WEC notice.
