WISCONSIN SUPREME COURT VOTER GUIDE
A statewide general race for the highest appellate court in the state of Wisconsin will be held on Tuesday, April 7. The two candidates vying for the position of Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice, a 10-year term, on the general ballot are Dan Kelly and Jill Karofsky. Wisconsin Family Action has prepared a Voter Guide that compares the two candidates so you may simply review them and make your decision before entering your polling place. CLICK HERE to view, download and share your Voter Guide today!
On Tuesday, April 7, every Wisconsin ballot will have a referendum that would amend our state constitution related to the rights of victims of crime, commonly referred to as Marsy’s Law. According to the web site for Marsy’s Law for All, the law is named for Marsalee (Marsy) Nicholas, a “beautiful, vibrant University of California Santa Barbara student, who was stalked and killed by her ex-boyfriend in 1983.”
This referendum is not an issue with a clear conservative or liberal position or a clear right or wrong vote. Good people disagree on this issue. For us, it is outside of our mission which deals with marriage, family, life and religious freedom. However, in an effort to help voters understand the referendum and make the best personal decision they can, we are providing resources from three perspectives: neutral, in support of, and in opposition to. We believe this is the best way we can help voters on this particular ballot referendum.

EARLY IN-PERSON/ABSENTEE VOTING INFORMATION
According to Wisconsin’s Government Accountability Board, each city, village and town in Wisconsin is responsible for setting the dates and hours of in-person absentee voting for their municipality. To find the dates and hours for in-person absentee voting where you live, contact your municipal clerk.
WHY? Due to a lawsuit filed by one of Wisconsin’s most liberal organizations, One Wisconsin Now, the state’s rules for early in-person voting changed. The lawsuit alleges the law providing for a 10-day early-in person voting window is discriminatory against minorities, especially those in Milwaukee. The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals agreed, ordering that all 1,855 Wisconsin municipal clerks could decide for themselves when early voting would begin as well as the days and hours the office would be open for such voting. Read more HERE.
ABSENTEE VOTING: All voters in Wisconsin can request an absentee ballot be mailed to them for any reason. Voters must be registered before they can request an absentee ballot. Voters may request their absentee ballot in writing. To request an absentee ballot, CLICK HERE. You must provide a photo ID with your absentee ballot request.
