The state Supreme Court in the swing state of Wisconsin has just overturned its own ruling from two years ago that banned ballot drop boxes all over the state.

Liberals won back the majority in 2023 on the high court and have now reinstated ballot drop boxes.

Here’s more from NBC News:

The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Friday ruled 4-3 to reinstate the use of most ballot drop boxes across the crucial battleground state, overturning a decision it made less than two years ago that banned the use of most of those boxes.

“Our decision today does not force or require that any municipal clerks use drop boxes,” the decision Friday read. “It merely acknowledges…that clerks may lawfully utilize secure drop boxes in an exercise of their statutorily-conferred discretion.”

While the ruling had largely been expected after the court’s liberal justices signaled their positioning on the issue during oral arguments in the case in May, it is likely to have large ramifications on the 2024 presidential election in the crucial battleground because it effectively permits the broad use of ballot drop boxes.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission, which oversees elections in the state, approved funding for the expanded use of drop boxes during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

But in a case brought by conservative groups, the state Supreme Court ruled in July 2022 that Wisconsin voters casting absentee ballots would no longer be able to drop them in boxes located anywhere except the offices of election clerks. It ruled that only the GOP-controlled state Legislature — not the Wisconsin Elections Commission — has the power to enact laws and policy regarding absentee ballot drop boxes

After liberals won back the court majority in 2023, however, the Democratic group Priorities USA filed a suit explicitly seeking to overturn the 2022 ruling curtailing the use of drop boxes, as well other rules and restrictions regarding absentee voting. (After a Wisconsin trial court narrowed the suit, the group appealed directly to the state Supreme Court, skipping over lower appeals courts.)

The group had argued that the 2022 ruling was incorrectly decided due to the fact that Wisconsin law is silent on the issue of drop boxes. While the group has acknowledged that Wisconsin laws do make clear that absentee ballots must be returned by mail or in person, they raised the question in the case that it remained unclear whether voters can return absentee ballots in person to locations other than a clerk’s office.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court’s four liberal justices voted in March to accept the case, agreeing only to resolve whether the 22-month-old ruling was incorrectly decided but not any other issues raised in the suit.

And so it begins. Democrats must be so happy with this ruling because it gives them another way to cheat in order to keep Trump from winning the state…
