“WAUKESHA JUDGE RULES ABSENTEE BALLOT DROP BOXES, BALLOT HARVESTING ILLEGAL UNDER STATE LAW January 13, 2022
WILL SUED IN JUNE 2021 AFTER EXTENSIVE USE OF DROP BOXES IN 2020
The News: Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael Bohren issued a summary judgment decision, in court, that absentee ballot drop boxes and ballot harvesting are not permitted in state law. Judge Bohren also ruled that the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) guidance documents on absentee ballot drop boxes, issued in 2020, should have gone through the rules process.
The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) filed a lawsuit on behalf of two Waukesha County voters in June 2021 challenging the legal status of absentee ballot drop boxes after WEC issued unlawful guidance to clerks, in 2020, encouraging the use of absentee ballot drop boxes, and telling voters that anyone else can return their ballot for them.
