Virtual
The swing state of Wisconsin has an upcoming election that will determine the balance of power in the state’s divided 4-3 Supreme Court. The election is just around the corner, with a primary on February 21 and the general election on April 4th. Voting by mail makes a lot of sense in Wisconsin in February, and the state requires voters to sign up again each year to do so. There is only a short window for voters to request a ballot, so we want to get these reminders out to them as soon as possible.
These cards need to be mailed by January 26th.
