Judge rules Wisconsin voters can’t recast ballots after governor race shake-up

In Wisconsin, a judge decided that voters can't get new ballots for the Democratic primary in the governor's race, despite some candidates dropping out or rejoining the race just before the vote. This ruling follows a lawsuit from the state’s Democratic Party against the Wisconsin Elections Commission. The decision is significant as it impacts the integrity and fairness of the voting process, especially in a closely contested election where last-minute changes can influence voter turnout and preferences. This move underscores the challenges in updating ballots when political landscapes shift rapidly.
