Nothing has changed since 2020. There is still no instantaneous identity check for the thousands of people utilizing Wisconsin\u2019s same-day registration law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere remains continuing opportunity for bad actors to take advantage of this and other security vulnerabilities in the balloting process,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>According to law, local clerks have 30 days after a state election and 45 days after a federal election to verify a same-day voter\u2019s ID and address.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat good does that do? By that time, the election is already over and there is no way to take a potentially illegal vote back or to link the ballot with the unqualified voter who cast it,\u201d said Brandtjen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not the fault of the local election clerks. They have not been provided the equipment they need, nor is there a process in place for an instant identity check for same-day registrants who vote that day.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Janel-Brandtjen-1.jpg\"><\/a> Wisconsin Assemblywoman Janel Brandtjen.
