AN EXTRA SET OF EYES WATCHING THINGS AT YOUR PRIMARY ELECTION POLLING SITE ON TUESDAY. SECRETARY OF STATE BRAD WINTER SAYS HE’S ASKED THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE FOR ASSISTANCE IN MAKING SURE COUNTY CLERKS HAVE THE HELP THEY NEED SHOULD ANY ISSUES ARISE. ONE THING THEY’LL BE WATCHING FOR IS CAMPAIGNING WITHIN 100 FEET OF A POLLING LOCATION. THAT’S NOT ALLOWED.
HE SAYS IT’S A QUESTION OF HAVING THE MANPOWER TO OVERSEE ALL THE POLLING SITES. HE SAYS HIS OFFICE DOESN’T HAVE THE STAFF TO MAN EVERY POLLING LOCATION.
WINTER SAYS STATE LAW ALLOWS FOR HIS OFFICE AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE TO COOPERATE IN OVERSEEING ELECTIONS.
