Lawsuit challenges Wisconsin's use of ballot drop boxes

A nonprofit conservative law firm filed a lawsuit challenging Wisconsin’s use of ballot drop boxes days after the state’s Supreme Court declined to hear a similar case questioning the use of absentee ballot boxes.

The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty filed a declaratory judgment case against the Wisconsin Election Commission with Waukesha County Circuit Court on Monday, alleging the commission sent two memos on March 31, 2020, stating a person other than the voter can return their ballot to a drop box. This comes despite the fact returning a ballot through U.S. mail or handing the ballot envelope directly to a municipal clerk are the only available legal options.
