The Dane County recount is underway, to a steady and pleasant hum.

The Trump campaign is objecting to all absentee ballots that do not have a prior written application.

I think that applies to all votes electronically requested on MyVote Wisconsin. There is no written record of those, only the absentee ballot log, which WEC argued ab at length

Biden team counters, saying there's no need to disenfranchise tens of thousands of voters in Dane County.

Dane County atty points to the WEC handbook, which states essentially that officials should not " reject an absentee ballot if there's no written application"

Trump campaign is "making this objection for the record" for future litigation, citing state stature that it can review "all materials related to a ballot."

Biden attorney says the Trump campaign is "ignoring the reality of what happens in early voting," and gives prolonged narrative of one Madison voter's experience.

The Dane Co Board of Canvassers is so small! Votes 2-1 not to draw down and exclude absentee ballots.

@samcdonell says "this is likely to go to the state Supreme Court." All the standing objections from the Trump campaign are noted, and they will be provided all the materials for that likely tomorrow.

The woman on the Board of Canvassers who made the lone vote not to accept absentee ballots -- makes a note that she "is a supporter of the law. The law requires an application for a ballot."

I'm not sure the Legistar for the Dane Board of Canvassers is updated

Trump atty Troupis has been presenting all the arguments for the Trump campaign, now arguing against counting ballots cast by indefinitely confined voters (who were exempted from showing proof of legal ID, but had to follow all other rules).

2-1 not to draw down ballots of indefinitely confined voters, but 3-0 to accept as a standing objection.

All done with this "courtroom," arguments noted for future litigation, now back to counting.

This room is TOO red.
