Causing a widespread voter confusion weeks before the fall primary is part of the reason why Door County Circuit Judge David Weber dismissed a case on Monday. The case filed by Amberg's Thomas Oldenburg charged the Wisconsin Elections Commission with violating state law when it allowed absentee voters who requested a ballot electronically to certify their ballot by signing the certificate on the outside of the ballot envelope rather than including a paper copy of the request in the envelope. According to WLUK-TV, Weber said that the envelope with the absentee certification was good enough adding that "invalidating absentee ballots returned in the EL 122 envelopes will, in this court's opinion, cause widespread voter confusion and risks the disenfranchisement of voters that depend on absentee ballots to exercise their right to vote." Weber was tapped to oversee the case after Marinette County Circuit Court Judge James Morrison was supposed to have heard the case in early June, but he accepted a request from intervenors Disability Rights Wisconsin and the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin for a substitute judge.
