Tom Tiffany (WI-07) sent a letter to the City of Madison Clerk Maribeth Witzel-Behl requesting answers on how people in Madison were sent duplicate absentee ballots. This comes after recent reports say that \u201caround 2,000\u201d duplicate ballots have been sent out by the Madison Clerk\u2019s Office.\n\nGiven the history of controversial and legally dubious election practices carried out by Madison officials in the past, including Maribeth Witzel-Behl\u2019s personal history as an operative for the left-wing, \u201cZuckerbucks\u201d financed Center for Tech and Civic Life, Rep. Tiffany demands transparency on how an \u201cerror\u201d of this magnitude was allowed to happen at such a pivotal time.\n\nIn the letter, Tiffany demands answers on:\n\nHow was this \u201cerror\u201d discovered?\n\nHas the Clerk\u2019s Office contacted law enforcement to investigate whether this \u201cerror\u201d was the result of simple incompetence or a deliberate nefarious act?\n\nHas the Clerk\u2019s Office identified what person or persons are responsible for this \u201cerror\u201d?\n\nHas the Clerk\u2019s Office taken steps to preserve all emails, internal communications, handwritten notes, and other records related to this \u201cerror\u201d?\n\nWhat is the exact number of duplicate ballots that were sent out by the Clerk\u2019s Office?\n\nThe Clerk\u2019s Office claims that this \u201cerror\u201d affected voters in only one ward. Which ward was it?\n\nHas the Clerk\u2019s Office received any reports of duplicate ballots in other wards, or conducted any due diligence to ensure that this \u201cerror\u201d was limited to just a single ward?\n\nHave any of these duplicate ballots been returned to the Clerk\u2019s Office, and if so, have they been set aside pending an investigation?\n\nThe Clerk\u2019s Office has claimed that the duplicate ballots have unique bar codes. Are these unique ballot bar codes linked to individual, identifiable voter profiles?\n\nTo read the full letter, click here.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:43:57Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://tiffany.house.gov/media/press-releases/tiffany-demands-answers-and-transparency-madison-duplicate-ballots"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5740622766315937, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
