racer254 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Good decision. This has been brought up a couple times, so I thought it needed it's own thread. The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Friday barred the use of most ballot drop boxes. In a 4-3 vote, the court ruled that voters must either mail their ballots or return them in person. In 2020, President Biden won Wisconsin by roughly 20,000 votes out of nearly 3.3 million ballots cast. The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Friday barred the use of most ballot drop boxes and ruled that voters could not allow other individuals to return their completed absentee ballots on their behalf, a major victory for conservatives who have sought to tighten voting rules since the 2020 presidential election. In a 4-3 ruling, the court stated that absentee ballots must be submitted via mail service, or the voter can bring their ballot to a local election office. Justice Rebecca Bradley in the majority opinion stated that state law points to "bodily presence" for voters returning absentee ballots, which would exclude drop boxes. https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/08/politics/wisconsin-ballot-drop-boxes-supreme-court/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
