Wisconsin Supreme Court to Allow Absentee-Ballot Drop Boxes Again

Wisconsin’s Supreme Court, led by liberal justices, reversed a previous ruling to allow the use of absentee ballot drop boxes in the state for the upcoming elections.

The 4-3 decision favored Democrats, who contended that drop boxes enhance voter accessibility.

In contrast, Republicans, echoing former President Trump’s unproven claims, had criticized drop boxes and absentee voting, alleging widespread fraud during the 2020 elections.

“Our decision today does not force or require that any municipal clerks use drop boxes. It merely acknowledges what (state law) has always meant: that clerks may lawfully utilize secure drop boxes in an exercise of theirstatutorily-conferred discretion,” Justice Ann Walsh Bradley wrote in the majority opinion.

Following Friday’s decision by Wisconsin’s Supreme Court, election clerks in the state are now permitted to utilize ballot drop boxes for both the Aug. 13 partisan primaries and the Nov. 5 presidential election.

Justice Rebecca Bradley, a conservative on the court, criticized the liberal majority in her dissent, accusing them of prioritizing political motives over legal principles, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has reported.
