Flattsville,

You are correct about the cards. I needed to make a call this a.m. Of the 1857 municipalities, 74 still use punch cards - less than 4%.

I talked to a neighboring county clerk that was still using punch cards this election as well. (She stated that they were transfering over to the opteck IV-C system we use in our county next year.)

The absentee ballots they use in the punch card county are the same as the ones they use on election day. These punch card ballots are given to absentee voters with a small stylus to punch out the number of the hole assigned to the corresponding candidate.

In Wisconsin you do not have to declare part affiliation. In the primaries you can vote for whoever you want ( from any party) but you cannot CROSSOVER vote. You have to choose one party and stick with it on the primary ballot.

>>I think some of this derived from the state's history of progressive reform politics which is now quite dead, yet the myth persists.<<

I agree.

What we have here with same day registration is an invitation for fraud.

Cobalt Blue, I did check out the information on the League of Women Voters. They take an organizational stand on a number of controversial issues. Right now they are focusing on "abolishing the electoral college"

lwv.org

also organizational stand on: gun control, capital punishment, school choice, land use, ect. I don't think I'd fit in <g>
