Wisconsin’s governor is asking the state supreme court to okay ballot drop boxes ahead of this November’s election.
Governor Tony Evers wrote a letter to the court yesterday, asking the new liberal-majority to overturn a ruling from 2022 that said ballot drop boxes are not allowed by state law. The governor says ballot drop boxes are allowed in clerks’ offices, and a drop box somewhere else in the community is no different. The old conservative-majority court said ballot drop boxes are not allowed in Wisconsin because Wisconsin lawmakers have never okayed them. The liberal-majority court is looking at that decision with an eye towards having a ruling before November.
