LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) – The Wisconsin Government Accountability Board estimated 10 percent of registered voters in Wisconsin cast a ballot in the Spring Primary Election on Tuesday.
At the 7th District polling location in La Crosse, Cheryl Vieth said voter turnout was around the 10 percent, and that was OK because it allowed time to adjust to the new voter I.D. law.
“So it’s a good process for them to get used to to bring the right, correct, information to the voting place,” Veith said.
Veith said the process was simple and her polling location saw no issues.
The same was true for voting staff in Onalaska.
“Everybody seems very much aware, I think there’s been enough publicity,” election inspector Sharon Mahlum said.
A few local voters had the same feeling.
“If you have an ID already then it’s pretty simple. You just show them your form of identification and they take care of the rest,” Courtney Kirker said.
“Nope, I normally have my drivers license on me so nothing different,” Lee Worrell said.
