Rep. Tom Tiffany Reveals Duplicate Absentee Ballots Have 'No Barcode' | 25 Sept 2024 | Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI) revealed that thousands of duplicate absentee ballots contained "no barcode" on them after officials in Madison City said the duplicate ballots had the barcode. In a post on X, Tiffany wrote that officials in the Madison Clerk's Office had stated that because the duplicate ballots had identical barcodes, they would not be allowed to be submitted. Tiffany's post came a day after he called for an "investigation" after Madison officials revealed that 2,215 duplicate ballots had been sent out to roughly 10 wards. "DEVELOPING," Tiffany wrote. "Although the Madison Clerk's Office claims, 'The voting system does not allow a ballot with the same barcode to be submitted,' my office has proof that there is no barcode on the actual ballots."
