On the Wisconsin Supreme Court Drop Box Decision
I applaud the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s decision regarding election drop boxes. Government ought to take every reasonable step to allow voters to participate in elections, and today’s decision advances that goal.
The Milwaukee Election Commission plans to make drop boxes available for the August partisan primary and the November general election. It is currently reviewing processes and equipment needs in order to deploy drop boxes.
There is no credible evidence drop boxes are an avenue for election law violations. And, Milwaukee will have appropriate protocols in place to assure continued election integrity.
