WISCONSIN PUBLIC RADIO: Northern Wisconsin town agrees to bring accessible voting machine back
After losing its case in two federal courts, a northern Wisconsin town has agreed to use an electronic voting machine designed for people with disabilities. The dispute stems from the town’s 2023 decision to remove voting machines due to their “controversial nature.” In a settlement approved by U.S. District Court Judge James Peterson on Dec. 19, the Rusk County Town of Thornapple agreed to make at least one voting machine designed for people with disabilities available in all federal elections through 2026.
