PRP's Comment With The Wisconsin Attorney General

Public Rights Project (PRP) recently filed a comment with the Wisconsin Attorney General on behalf of a coalition of current election officials. The comment supports Dane County’s request for a legal opinion providing guidance on the proper interpretation of Wisconsin’s new constitutional provision, Article III § 7(2), which has caused confusion and concern among Wisconsin clerks. PRP’s Election Protection Hub seeks to ensure a clear and narrow interpretation of Article III § 7(2) that allows local election officials to continue to do their jobs and effectively administer elections.
