Wisconsin : Voting by mail must precede phone, Internet options, state says - JSOnline

Voting by mail must precede phone, Internet options, state says - JSOnline:

Wisconsin must first consider legalizing voting by mail, and then explore voting by phone and over the Internet, says the director of the state agency that administers elections.

With as few as 6% of voters statewide casting ballots in the spring nonpartisan primary, and the growing cost of having thousands of poll workers and officials in place for every election, 'Let's look at some other alternatives,' said Kevin J. Kennedy, director of the Government Accountability Board.

But state law must be changed to allow changes in the voting process, and that could take years, Kennedy said.
