Tonight on We the People Wednesday: Ballot Access Under the Microscope
Ballot access — it sounds simple enough, right?
Wisconsin law lays out the rules candidates must follow to earn a place on the ballot. But what happens when serious questions are raised about whether those rules were actually followed?
Who decides which laws matter, when they apply, and how they are enforced?
During a recent hearing, Wisconsin Elections Commission Chairperson Ann Jacobs was even heard saying, “These are sketchy.” But what was she referring to — and what does that statement reveal about the nomination process?
Tonight, Screech Owl Scott and Red Owl take a deep dive into nomination paper challenges, the evidence behind them, and how the Wisconsin Elections Commission responds when citizens bring those concerns forward.
This is a conversation about process, accountability, and whether election laws are being applied consistently when ballot access is on the line.
