The City of Milwaukee Election Commission received their new, permanent absentee ballot drop boxes last week after ex- periencing a shipping delay due to the pandemic, increased de- mand, and wildfires near the manufacturer. The new drop boxes have more advanced security and weather-proof features that will provide long-term benefits. The Election Commission anticipates that voters will continue to enjoy the convenience and safety of voting from home for years to come. The drop boxes are being installed by the De- partment of Public Works. Election Commission staff are accompanying the DPW workers to ensure that all ballots are received from the old boxes and new security seals will be placed on the new boxes, preserving careful chain of custody procedures. Voters can return absentee ballots to the drop boxes until 7:30pm on Election Day. PACK THE POLLS!

  • November 2008 OVERVIEW of WISCONSIN's ELECTION RESULTS
    November 2008 OVERVIEW OF WISCONSIN’S ELECTION RESULTS By Jordan Lamb Major Changes in State Assembly The State Assembly has switched from Republican control to Democratic control. The Republicans had control of the State Assembly since 1994. As a result of the November elections, the Democrats gained control of the State Assembly by defeating three incumbent Republicans in head-to-head races and by winning in two districts where Republican incumbents did not stand for re-election. The Democrats now have the majority with a margin of 52 – 46 with one (1) Independent. The Democrats gained control by winning some seats held by Republican incumbents or seats previously held by Republican retirees from office (open seats). Incumbent Republican Frank Lasee of Bellevue in the 2nd Assembly District was defeated by Democrat Ted Zigmunt of Francis Creek; Fred Clark of Baraboo defeated incumbent Republican J. A. (Doc) Hines of Oxford in the 42nd Assembly District; and Kristen Dexter of Eau Claire defeated Republican Terry Moulton of Chippewa Falls in the 68th Assembly District. Democrat Penny Bernard Schaber of Appleton defeated Republican Jo Egelhoff in the 57th Assembly District, left open by the retirement of Republican Steve Wieckert. Democrat Mark Radcliffe of Black River Falls defeated Republican Daniel Hellman of Onalaska to succeed Republican Terry Musser, who also declined running for re- election. Democratic control of the Assembly will bring noticeable logistical changes and some philosophical changes to the legislature. First, every Assembly committee will have a new chairperson who is a Democrat and several new faces on these committees. Secondly, the philosophical divide between the Assembly and Governor Doyle will not be as substantial as it was under Republican control.
