The mailing would send out the absentee ballot application form, not actual ballots. To receive a ballot, the voter must return the completed form with a copy of their photo ID. A paper form sent to the voter could be returned in the mail, but they would also receive information about how to request a ballot electronically through the state's MyVote website.

Republican Scott Fitzgerald, the Wisconsin Senate's majority leader who is running for Congress, last week also spoke out against mailing absentee ballots to all voters.
