(The Center Square) – Wisconsin’s election managers are telling local election managers not to worry about President Donald Trump’s new executive order for mail-in ballots.
The Elections Commission approved a new clarification for local election clerks that explains how to handle the order that would have the Post Office cross check mail-in ballots against a list of U.S. citizens.
