MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Disabled voters who need assistance submitting absentee ballots say local election leaders across Wisconsin are not following federal law during early voting in the high-stakes state Supreme Court race.

Absentee ballots, and who can return them, has been a political flashpoint in battleground Wisconsin, which is known for razor-thin margins in statewide races.

The state elections commission has implored local officials to follow the law.
