Comments
LWVWI has no objection to the first three provisions of the bill but finds the removal of the three-foot minimum distance for observers unreasonable. The provision fails to protect voters’ private information, such as their driver license number.

Wisconsin Clerks noted 3 feet was often the spacing during pre-pandemic elections and was acceptable. They expressed concern of 0-3 ft being established in the bill will result in observers being 0 ft; too close! Minimum personal space is needed.
