Just in from @WI_Elections Administrator Meagan Wolfe: if you returned a ballot without a witness signature in the short period that was allowed, your ballot will not be counted and you will not be able to get another ballot, even if you show up to the polls to vote in person
To follow up to this, federal Judge William Conley eased the witness signature requirement for absentee ballots.

That was overturned by a federal appeals court, so essentially the period where you could mail in a ballot without a witness signature never existed.
BUT if you have been sent an absentee ballot, you have a watermark next to your name notifying the poll worker. The poll worker then asks if you returned the ballot.

If you have, even if it was during the period in which the witness signature requirement was eased, you CANNOT..
.. be issued a ballot at the polls.

Long story short, those who took advantage of the provision to affirm they couldn't safely get a witness signature have technically voted, but their voted will not count and there isn't a remedy to fix that.
