💨 Abstract

In 2025, nearly 200 absentee ballots went uncounted in Madison, Wisconsin's presidential election due to errors and illegal actions by the former city clerk, Maribeth Witzel-Behl. Despite resigning in April, the state's investigation revealed probable cause that she violated multiple election laws. Issues included poor tracking, lack of supervision, and security lapses, with one individual even found sleeping in the building storing ballots.
