Subject: Re: [EL] Richard Pildes write up on Wisconsin
True, but we should not lose sight of some racial and partisan disparities as I noted in my forthcoming Three Pathologies piece in ELJ:
As a political matter, the Wisconsin Legislature’s
refusal to delay the election backfired: Democrats
were angry about the attempt to make it harder to
vote, and the party mobilized to request absentee
ballots (Pildes and Stewart 2020). This was true
even though turnout among minority voters was
down: In Milwaukee, ‘‘[w]hile white wards had an
average of 49 percent voter turnout, Black and
Hispanic wards had an average of about 18 percent
turnout’’ (Banerjee and Gall 2020). Some Republican
voters found the absentee ballot request process
difficult,6 and turnout among that group was down
much more than among Democrats,7 leading to
the election of the Democratic-preferred candidate
for the state Supreme Court.

If you look at the data and statistical analysis in the piece I cited that Charles Stewart and I wrote, we found that: “As it turns out, overall turnout in Wisconsin’s 2020 primaries was even higher than in most Wisconsin primaries in the past 40 years. Thirty-four percent of the state’s potential voters cast a ballot last week — a slightly higher rate than the 31 percent average for all of Wisconsin’s presidential primaries since 1984.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/04/15/wisconsin-primary-had-extraordinarily-high-voter-turnout/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.washingtonpost.com_politics_2020_04_15_wisconsin-2Dprimary-2Dhad-2Dextraordinarily-2Dhigh-2Dvoter-2Dturnout_&d=DwMGaQ&c=slrrB7dE8n7gBJbeO0g-IQ&r=v3oz9bpMizgP1T8KwLv3YT-_iypxaOkdtbkRAclgHRk&m=d-xuBmYuMtLgp6YntP9OdKRJIV7Rgy-Uc0ZKKBumUnM&s=wYJN3s41wKyRW2uR4QNr195XJLZzI2_BX2zAV8Ap2Nc&e=>

Subject: Re: [EL] Richard Pildes write up on Wisconsin
I “attended” a webinar conversation with Megan Wolfe, the CEO of Wisconsin in regards to their June election (viewable here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vetQVBKgsmE<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.youtube.com_watch-3Fv-3DvetQVBKgsmE&d=DwMGaQ&c=slrrB7dE8n7gBJbeO0g-IQ&r=v3oz9bpMizgP1T8KwLv3YT-_iypxaOkdtbkRAclgHRk&m=PiNgsUNMTS42XA4mDi9cyN-_dV2BWhv1gMJpIYhkQgE&s=F_h-e6TDMYSiqwoJBZqj-UvNk3QlurBM3XvWWtsldZE&e=>)
It is a fascinating conversation, and I do applaud the Wisconsin Election Board for all of their outside-the-box thinking that was employed during the primary (enrolling their ~2000 Election Officers in RAVE alerts to update them on the back and forth decisions from the courts, employing the National Guard as poll workers and to deliver ballot envelopes, utilizing personal spray bottles since they couldn’t buy empty ones to put in the sanitizing spray that breweries were making for them, etc).
However, I am curious about the “historically high” turnout that is mentioned by Richard Pildes, as the following article from NPR (https://www.npr.org/2020/04/15/834037566/in-the-end-the-voters-responded-surprising-takeaways-from-wisconsin-s-election<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.npr.org_2020_04_15_834037566_in-2Dthe-2Dend-2Dthe-2Dvoters-2Dresponded-2Dsurprising-2Dtakeaways-2Dfrom-2Dwisconsin-2Ds-2Delection&d=DwMGaQ&c=slrrB7dE8n7gBJbeO0g-IQ&r=v3oz9bpMizgP1T8KwLv3YT-_iypxaOkdtbkRAclgHRk&m=PiNgsUNMTS42XA4mDi9cyN-_dV2BWhv1gMJpIYhkQgE&s=2y1yehspzcr1AO5-Nz-JxmEkjFJ78FYE4CwR4-BI0Rw&e=>) shows that the turnout was generally steady with past elections. What was significant was the uptick in absentee voting (no surprise there). Usually it was ~15%, and for this election it was 71%. I can only hope that states that have not been used to higher absentee ballots are adjusting ballot envelope orders accordingly, and adjusting their procedures, since it is far too late/expensive to update their ballot sorting/scanning technology)
However, all of this makes me very glad that I work in an already fully vote-by-mail county, as we dealt with these growing pains back in 2018.
I look forward to reading about how their August Partisan Primary went, as I haven’t seen articles flying left and right all over my newsfeed.
My two cents!

The U.S. Postal Service has warned Pennsylvania that some mail ballots might not be delivered on time because the state?s deadlines are too tight<https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/pa-mail-ballots-deadline-2020-primary-election-20200610.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.inquirer.com_politics_election_pa-2Dmail-2Dballots-2Ddeadline-2D2020-2Dprimary-2Delection-2D20200610.html&d=DwMGaQ&c=slrrB7dE8n7gBJbeO0g-IQ&r=v3oz9bpMizgP1T8KwLv3YT-_iypxaOkdtbkRAclgHRk&m=PiNgsUNMTS42XA4mDi9cyN-_dV2BWhv1gMJpIYhkQgE&s=jPcx42zbR6UdlsGjMaqJ80cVmKDgKNi6gklbMZtv3Ss&e=>> for its ?delivery standards,? prompting election officials to ask the state Supreme Court to extend the deadlines to avoid disenfranchising voters.
The warning came in a July 29 letter from Thomas J. Marshall, general counsel and executive vice president of the Postal Service, to Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, whose department oversees elections. That letter was made public late Thursday in a filing her Department of State submitted to the Supreme Court, asking it to order that mail ballots be counted as long as they are received up to three days after the Nov. 3 election date.
If the court agrees, that could increase the likelihood that the results of the presidential race between President Donald Trump and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden won?t be known for days after the election<https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/pennsylvania-2020-presidential-election-results-absentee-ballots-20200117.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.inquirer.com_politics_election_pennsylvania-2D2020-2Dpresidential-2Delection-2Dresults-2Dabsentee-2Dballots-2D20200117.html&d=DwMGaQ&c=slrrB7dE8n7gBJbeO0g-IQ&r=v3oz9bpMizgP1T8KwLv3YT-_iypxaOkdtbkRAclgHRk&m=PiNgsUNMTS42XA4mDi9cyN-_dV2BWhv1gMJpIYhkQgE&s=kvb1rNQ1Gbtqz_XeE4NEIUFyPTZvvfXxIVKjNl4VtZ8&e=>>.

For Pennsylvania, a battleground state that was decided by less than 1% of the vote in 2016, the letter warned that ?certain deadlines for requesting and casting mail-in ballots are incongruous with the Postal Service?s delivery standards.?

The U.S. Postal Service has warned Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson that mail delivery timelines pose ?significant risk? to ballots sent too close to Election Day and that could lead to their disqualification.
USPS General Counsel Thomas J. Marshall wrote to Benson that Michigan election laws and certain deadlines for requesting and casting mail-in ballots are ?incongruous? and ?incompatible? with the Postal Service?s delivery standards.
?This mismatch creates a risk that ballots requested near the deadline under state law will not be returned by mail in time to be counted under your laws as we understand them,? Marshall wrote in a letter a week before a primary election that saw record absentee participation in Michigan.

The Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee and other GOP groups filed the lawsuits Wednesday against elections officials in Linn and Johnson counties.
At issue are absentee ballot request forms that the counties are sending to registered voters with personal information already filled in, including their names, dates of birth and voting pin numbers. Voters just have to review, sign and return the forms to get ballots in October that they can mail back or drop off, avoiding crowded polling places.
Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate, a Republican, last month told auditors in an emergency election directive that request forms mailed to voters must be blank in order ?to ensure uniformity.?
Pate?s office has not taken any legal action to block the two counties? mailings but said Thursday it is investigating their actions. Pate said that sending forms pre-filled with personal identifying information will give critics of absentee voting ?an opportunity to question the validity of election results in those counties.?

?The Court finds that instances of voter fraud are relevant to the claims and defenses in this case,? District Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan wrote on Thursday, telling Republicans that they need to provide evidence of fraud to the Democratic Party and the Sierra Club, which are part of the lawsuit.
The Democrats had asked for information and documents that would show steps the Republicans took to study the possibility of fraud, especially related to the use of dropboxes, ballot collection and mailed-in ballots in the primary elections.

Ms. Duckworth was regarded by Biden advisers as among the candidates likeliest to help him achieve a smashing electoral victory in November. But legal advisers to the campaign expressed urgent concern that Ms. Duckworth could face challenges to her nomination in court: She was born overseas, to an American father and a Thai mother. While Mr. Biden?s team believed Ms. Duckworth was eligible for national office, campaign lawyers feared that it would take just one partisan judge in one swing state to throw the whole Democratic ticket off the ballot.

White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow on Thursday labeled voting rights funding a ?really liberal left? wish list item, slamming congressional Democrats for their coronavirus relief package demands.
The comments from a top administration official came hours after President Donald Trump explicitly tied blocking funding for the U.S. Postal Service to stopping universal mail-in voting during November?s election.
During an appearance on CNBC, Kudlow championed Trump?s recent executive orders aimed at easing the economic burden of the pandemic and criticized Democrats for failing to reach a deal on a legislative package.
?They are asking too much money, $3.5 trillion, we have already spent over $3 trillion,? Kudlow said. ?So much of the Democratic asks are really liberal left wish lists ? voting rights and aid to aliens and so forth.?
