Wisconsin’s supreme court is questioning whether it should once again allow for ballot drop boxes.
The new liberal-majority court heard arguments from yesterday from a liberal group that says it’s unconstitutional to not allow Wisconsin voters to drop off their ballots at unmanned boxes throughout a community. The court’s conservative justices said there’s nothing in state law that specifically allows for ballot drop boxes, and pointed to the law that says absentee voting is a privilege in Wisconsin. Still, the liberal justices said the former conservative-majority court may have made a mistake in 2022 when that court banned drop boxes.
The decision from the court could play a role in this November’s election.
