Election officials in Wisconsin are pushing back against the narrative that ballot drop boxes are fraudulent in a state that has been embroiled in this debate since the 2020 election.

During the 2020 election, allies of former President Donald Trump promoted baseless claims that ballot drop boxes were not secure and urged their voters to only vote in person on Election Day. Drop boxes wound up in front of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which originally outlawed them in 2022, but the newly liberal-leaning court overturned that ruling in 2024, giving them the green light ahead of the November election.
