The state Board of Elections on Tuesday issued new guidance that allowing mail-in absentee ballots with deficient information to be fixed without forcing the voter to fill out a new blank ballot for November’s general election.
The federal lawsuit that Republicans filed on Saturday claims the election board made a partisan “backroom deal” that undermines state lawmakers’ election laws.
