Elections in Wisconsin are conducted by more than 1,800 local clerks at the town, village, city, and county levels, some of whom only work a minimum number of hours a week and don’t have the resources to respond to frivolous lawsuits.  Scott McDonell, Dane County Clerk, joins the 8 O’Clock Buzz to talk about the recent attempt by a 2020 election-denialist to make it much more difficult to vote by absentee ballot in the State of Wisconsin.  Josh Kaul, Wisconsin’t Attorney General, has issued a letter clarifying the clerk’s responsibilities.  Scott is also in contact with many of the clerks to address their concerns and make sure they are informed to what they are able to do to ensure free and fair elections in their districts.
