Pity the poor election officials in Wisconsin.  Every election cycle, the state’s rules change regarding who can vote, how votes can be collected and who and what money local clerks can use to help run elections.  This year alone, the state passed a constitutional amendment forbidding local governments from using private grants to support ballot access and another amendment stating that only “designated election officials may perform tasks in the conduct of elections” – whatever that means.  Then the state Supreme Court reversed itself on the use of ballot dropboxes – they were legal, then they were illegal, now they’re legal again.  Votebeat Wisconsin reporter Alexander Shur joins us once again to explain how municipal clerks are trying to keep up.
