Wisconsin Supreme Court Bans Voter Drop Boxes…
« on: July 08, 2022, 05:53:34 pm »
The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled 4-3 that absentee ballot drop boxes may only be placed in election offices

& no one other than the voter can return a ballot in person.

In 2020, Wisconsin had more than 500 unmanned drop boxes — this won’t happen again.

This may be an even bigger ruling that also came out.  They are getting their moral compass where it needs to be.

This was a 4-3 decision.....

Quote
According to The Daily Wire, the court ruled that Wisconsin voters would not "be allowed to give their ballots to others to drop off for them" but would be allowed to "turn their ballots in-person or mail them in."

The decision guarantees that drop boxes cannot be used for the August primary or the general election in November.

CNN reports that the state's Supreme Court "ruled that the Wisconsin Election Commission – a six-member panel that helps oversee voting in the state – had overstepped its authority when it issued guidance to local election clerks to allow the use of drop boxes to return absentee ballots in the 2020 election, during the height of the pandemic."

The lawsuit named several groups beyond the Wisconsin Election Commission, such as Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, all of whom were pushing for the drop box protocol that had similarities to ballot harvesting.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court's majority decision read, "An absentee ballot must be returned by mail or the voter must personally deliver it to the municipal clerk at the clerk’s office or a designated alternative site." Justice Rebecca Bradley wrote the majority decision and added that the key quality to voting is being "'in person' and it must be assigned its natural meaning."
