Madison clerk violated city policies after 193 ballots went uncounted, internal investigation finds

Madison’s former city clerk violated city policies during the November election. And in the aftermath of the mistake when 193 absentee ballots went uncounted, a city investigation concluded.

Clerk Maribeth Witzel-Behl resigned earlier this month after Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway put her on paid administrative leave in March pending an investigation by the city’s human resources department.

City officials released the results of that investigation Tuesday.

The uncounted ballots came from three city wards. State elections officials have confirmed those votes would not have changed the results of any race or referendum on the Nov. 5 ballot.
