ABSENTEE VOTING
Contact your municipal clerk and request that an application for an absentee ballot be sent to you for the April election. You may also request an absentee ballot by letter. Your written request must list your voting address within the municipality where you wish to vote, the address where the absentee ballot should be sent, if different, the date of the election, and your signature.
Special absentee voting application provisions apply to electors who are indefinitely confined to home or a care facility, in the military, hospitalized, or serving as a sequestered juror. If this applies to you, contact your municipal clerk.
You can also personally go to the Clerk's office, or other specified location, complete a written application, and vote an absentee ballot during the hours specified for casting an absentee ballot.
The first day to vote an absentee ballot in your municipal clerk's office is Monday, March 18. The deadline is 5 p.m. on March 29.
Any ballots received after the polls close will be counted by the Board of Canvassers if postmarked by Election Day and received no later than 4 p.m. on the Friday following the election.

Interesting. I wonder why they closed their websites off to the public.

Looks like those two candidates have built new website since I first published this post. I just redirected those links to their new sites. Thanks for your help! Anything else amiss?

Funny how you can't find things if you DON'T WANT people to find them!

Roggensack is the only candidate qualified for the job.

Incumbency does not necessarily lead to qualification. On what facts are you basing this statement. Please include what, in your factually based opinion "disqualifies" the other two candidates.

John, do you really want some facts? If you do why don't you look them up yourself? If you have a rebuttal showing that my statement is incorrect then show some facts that refute my statement? Roggensack is a very fair judge with huge support:
from Michael's link: Justice Roggensack has earned the endorsement from 108 current Circuit Court judges, 11 retired Circuit Court judges, 3 current Court of Appeals judges and 3 retired Court of Appeals judges. In addition, Justice Roggensack has also been endorsed by four former Supreme Court Justices (a total of 129). She is the only candidate for Supreme Court with such strong and broad support from both the law enforcement and judicial community in Wisconsin.. Megna is a trial lawyer mad because he can't sue every single company and take his 35% from his clients. Fallone is a community activist and immigration lawyer. I have no idea how that would qualify him for the highest court in our state.

My point was that you can't just throw a comment like that without any supporting details and have it be taken seriously. Myself, I am not supporting any of the candidates publicly in a forum like this. You gave a nice endorsement of your candidate's credentials but very little evidence as to why the others are not qualified. I wonder why that is?

Some North Hudson residents have some of our candidates signs in their yards and one North Hudson business has a St. Joe candidate on their sign by the road. We are not considered in the "patch community" but the Hudson School Board candidates are on our ballots also.
