Wisconsin Supreme Court Allows Absentee Ballot Drop Boxes

The Wisconsin Supreme Court, now with a liberal majority, overturned a previous ruling banning the use of drop boxes for absentee ballots, allowing them to be used across the state for upcoming elections. This decision follows a lawsuit brought by progressive groups after the court's shift to a liberal majority in 2023. Democrats see this as a win for voter accessibility, while Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, had raised fraud concerns about the boxes. The ruling signifies a shift in election regulations and a contentious debate over voting methods in Wisconsin, a crucial battleground state with a history of close election results.
