Wisconsin election officials are making their final preparations ahead of tomorrow's recall. Municipalities have been swamped mailing absentee ballots and handling early in person voting. According to the Government Accountability Board over 206,000 absentee ballots had already been issued as of noon Monday.
"It's been very busy," said Kris Teske. She's the Clerk for the City of Green Bay. "Very busy at the counter, very busy with requests. Today feels really good because nobody can vote or register today so it gives us time to catch up."
Teske says that they're all set for the polls to open tomorrow at Green Bay's 47 wards.
"We're prepared," she said. "It's just like any other election. Granted we'll have more people but we'll just send more supplies."
The Government Accountability Board is estimating turnout to be around 60 to 65 percent. Polls in Wisconsin are open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m.
