Around two dozen members of the National Guard were called on to assist with transcribing votes from at least 13,500 misprinted absentee ballots onto fresh ballots in two Wisconsin counties on Wednesday, according to Fox News.
The move comes after the Wisconsin Supreme Court denied a petition from Outagamie and Calumet Counties to issue a ruling on the misprinted ballots, according to a statement from the Outagamie County Clerk’s Office (pdf), prompting county officials to recommend the statutorily prescribed method of manual transcription of the misprinted ballots, which cannot be processed by machine.
