Wisconsin officials remind voters of election date after mailers give wrong date
MADISON – Wisconsin election officials are reminding voters of the correct date of the April 1 spring election after receiving reports of third-party groups sending misleading mailers and other campaign materials with the wrong election date.
In one case, some Wisconsin voters have received postcards designed to appear to support liberal state Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford and telling voters to vote in an April 11 election — 10 days after the real election date. Some of the mailers are handwritten, sent from other states like California, Connecticut and New York, and at least one used the wrong first name for Crawford.
Crawford and conservative Waukesha County Circuit Judge Brad Schimel are competing in the nationally watched race for whether liberals or conservatives will hold a majority on the court.
"Voters should be cautious about any unofficial voting-related communications — including text messages, emails, mailers, phone calls, robocalls, postcards, and more — from unfamiliar sources," Wisconsin Elections Commission officials wrote in a press release Friday.
