Wisconsin Voters Urged to Act Early | Madison News
3d ago00:01:39Tap to summarizeWisconsin election officials are urging voters to mail absentee ballots at least two weeks before Election Day—or better yet, drop them off in person—to avoid delays that plagued recent elections. With late ballots causing issues even in smaller races, local clerks and the Wisconsin Elections Commission are expanding early drop boxes and promoting in-person voting to ensure every vote counts. Meanwhile, the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin is suing to allow provisional ballots on Election Day for those worried their mail ballots won’t arrive, challenging current rules that could disenfranchise voters. The Postal Service insists it can deliver election mail reliably, but the push for earlier returns underscores a growing tension between election administration and mail delivery certainty.

3d ago00:01:21Tap to summarizeSenator Bernie Moreno is blasting his former son-in-law, Rep. Max Miller, saying he should be removed from Congress over serious abuse allegations against him — claims Moreno says are backed by his daughter Emily.

President Trump will review the case, while the GOP has until August 10 to replace Miller if he steps down — as the drama heats up with court documents allegedly proving Miller’s violent behavior.

Transcribe →Corey Ruiz Memorial Camp Faces City Pressure | Madison News
3d ago00:02:01Tap to summarizeA makeshift memorial encampment at the intersection of Williamson and South Baldwin streets, sparked by the July 22 police shooting of Corey Ruiz, remains defiant despite city officials’ calls for removal. Over a dozen tents, barricades, and a campfire now dot the area as activists honor Ruiz’s memory — but Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway warns the situation is unsafe and unsustainable, citing sanitation, emergency access, and business disruption. While she supports preserving the memorial, she questions the encampment’s effectiveness in uniting the community — especially as her reelection campaign looms. Local businesses report declining bookings and safety concerns, yet the protest has also grown to include healthcare and social services. A state investigation into Ruiz’s death continues, and officials are exploring a “respectful transition,” including hotel vouchers, aiming for peace while honoring victims of police violence.
