Madison clerk resigns after being placed on leave over uncounted ballots
Madison’s city clerk has resigned after being placed on leave over absentee ballots that went uncounted in November.
The mayor’s office announced the resignation of Maribeth Witzel-Behl in a news release Monday.
Last month, Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway placed Witzel-Behl on paid administrative leave amid an investigation by the city’s Human
Resources Department into her job performance. That included looking into how 193 absentee ballots went un-tallied in November’s general election.
Now that Witzel-Behl has resigned, that internal investigation has concluded, city spokesperson Dylan Brogan said. Brogan said a report from the investigation would be released to the media once a waiting period stipulated in state law for her to review it before its release is completed.
