Call for Hearings in Wisconsin Following Ballot Confusion in Douglas County

The outgoing state representative in the town of Summit is asking for legislative hearings into the mix up that had people there voting in the wrong statehouse race. Rep. Angie Sapik, R-Lake Nebagamon, on Wednesday called for an information hearing in front of the Assembly’s Committee on Campaigns and Elections because some voters were given ballots with the wrong Assembly district. Sapik said the recent redistricting caused “confusion,” and had the clerk send the wrong ballots to some voters in the Assembly’s 73rd and 74th districts.
