Newly elected Republican state Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu says he wants to pass a bill early next year that would allow clerks to begin counting absentee ballots before Election Day.
LeMahieu tried to get a bill to this effect passed earlier this year. It had bipartisan support but failed because some Republican lawmakers opposed it.
In this week’s Capitol Notes conversation, WUWM’s Marti Mikkelson asks JR Ross of wispolitics.com, if he thinks such a bill would pass this time.
