Senate Majority Leader Wants Counting Of Absentee Ballots Before Election Day

The incoming Wisconsin Senate majority leader says allowing earlier counting of absentee ballots in one of his priorities as the next legislative session approaches.  Republican Devin LeMahieu says he wants to pass a bill to change the state law and allow those ballots to be counted before Election Day.  He tried to get it passed last year by working with Democrats, but his own party stopped it.  Members of the Wisconsin Legislature are said to be looking at making election-related changes after claims of widespread fraud during and after the November vote.
