Bryna Godar on WEC’s ruling on ‘spoiling’ absentee ballots

We turn to Bryna Godar, attorney with the State Democracy Research Initiative at the University of Wisconsin Law School, and thanks for being here. So I want to just back up a little bit to set those court cases up. It was a 2022 lawsuit where a Waukesha County judge ruled that the elections commission had to rescind its guidance, allowing for the spoiling of ballots. A state appeals court eventually repealed that ruling.
