Wisconsin Government Has No Plans to Ease Petitioning for Either Primary or General Election

According to this article, the Wisconsin Election Commission, the legislature, and the Governor, have so far shown no interest in doing anything about mandatory ballot access petitions.  Except for independent presidential petitions, all petitions are due June 1, for both the August 11 primary and the general election.

The Wisconsin Election Commission advises candidates to use postal mail to send blank petition forms to potential signers.  Yet the U.S. District Court decision from Michigan of April 20 included a fairly lengthy section explaining why that doesn’t work.

No candidate in Wisconsin needs more than 2,000 signatures, although the petition for a new qualified party needs 10,000 signatures.
