A Federal District judge has ruled that Wisconsin clerks must continue to count absentee ballots they receive through November 9th, six days after the election is held. Municipalities across Door and Kewaunee Counties are split on whether it will have an impact. Village of Sister Bay Clerk Heidi Teich says that there aren’t enough voters in her jurisdiction to require election day-level staffing for an additional week.

City of Kewaunee Clerk Terri Decur says she is waiting for Wisconsin officials to weigh in on the matter.

Decur says it feels a lot like April when rules changed almost daily. Legal challenges for that contest went all the way to the United States Supreme Court. Judge William Conley has stayed his own order from going into effect until September 28th. The Wisconsin GOP has filed an appeal.
