Federal Judge William Conley has ruled that Wisconsin absentee ballots may be counted if they are postmarked by Nov. 3 and received by Nov. 9. The ruling also extends the date for requesting absentee ballots by one week, until Oct. 21. The injunction does not take place for a week to allow defendants to make an emergency appeal, which is almost certain to happen. The ruling is attached below. Judge Conley is the same judge who allowed similar changes in voting for the April election.

Some of you may still be wondering how you get an absentee ballot, despite the news and YouTube tutorials, and other sources of information. Have no fear. You may remember Chad Vader, the star of the Wisconsin-grown series filmed in the Willy St. Market in Madison. He has come out of retirement to show you how to request an absentee ballot.
