The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Friday that the state's widespread use of ballot drop boxes is illegal, delivering a huge victory to election integrity activists and a stinging rebuke to state officials who had deployed the boxes to major success in the 2020 election.
In the court's 4-3 ruling, the justices rebuked the Wisconsin Elections Commission for distributing the boxes across the state, arguing that only the Wisconsin legislature had the authority to employ their use.
"Only the legislature may permit absentee voting via ballot drop boxes. WEC cannot,” the court said in the ruling.

So basically this State Supreme Court is saying the 2020 election was illegal and stolen in Wisconsin.

2,
No. The State Supreme Court drew the line on who has the authority to enact these changes. Let's not be guilty of reading more into something than was actually stated. That is something the idiot left does and something we should never do. No good comes from misunderstanding legal issues.

Whether the election was illegal and stolen: the drop boxes were illegal; I am guessing the court was not asked whether ballots placed in them should be disregarded. Election law is odd in the sense that the protected party is the ballot; and valid ballots should not be thrown out because of crooked election people. I suspect that there is no provision under any law that would allow the Wisconsin electoral votes to be rescinded at this point.
I think at this point the good guys are in “don’t let it happen again” mode.
For me this decision is important to show a substantial and unequivocal and simple and clear outcome which supports Trump’s position that the election was “not according to law”- perhaps a more accurate and digestible phrase for The Gullibles.
For those who say no court of law ever upheld any claim of impropriety: read this case. (I do not believe that this case even addresses the issue of vote fraud which asserts invalid ballots).

A little more clarification: the following is from a January 15, 2022 article discussing a lower court ruling which the Wis Sup Ct upheld in this opinion:
"But by a 4-3 vote, a liberal-led majority of that court held on December 14, 2020, that it was too late for the court to rule on the merits of those legal claims, and the conservatives’ opinion was relegated to a dissent from that decision."
So, the libs gave no relief for the 2020 election, but apparently can't dispute the holding that the drop boxes were illegal. In the future it should be easy to get an injunction preventing their use if a crooked election official tries to use them.

Let's just say no one could prove 2020 was not stolen because the barn was open.

And yet they stole the election that way. And NO ONE will stop them from doing it again.

The republican legislature is run by never trump Rovian hack Robin Vos, who desperately doesn't want it known that this election was stolen.

Sorry, but reading between the legalese lines, the Wisconsin 2020 election WAS stolen. So how many electoral votes would that have given Trump? The problem in this country today is no one has the balls, but Trump and we his many supporters to say the election in fact was stolen. And boys and girls, stolen not just from Trump but from We the People. As others have said, since no one is allowed to say the election was stolen, since no official investigation on the federal level has occurred and since no one has paid the price for not only the stolen election, but the Russia Hoax, the rigged impeachments, the fraudulent Mueller campaign, etc., they will steal the election again. And they will destroy any Republican nominee that has the audacity to think for him/herself and run for President. We are in a heap a trouble.

Why just talk about the 2020 election in Wisconsin? How about the 2018 election? Three or four boxes came in at the midnight hour and magically Tony Evers/Mandela Barnes won. Recognize the name Mandela Barnes? He is campaigning against Ron Johnson. Evers/Barnes really think they are the dream team. . .

And the police NEVER ever make the slightest effort to enforce any laws related to voting illegalities, or criminal acts in the counting process.
NO police ever do anything to enforce these laws, so the Dems break them with impunity, and their stolen elections stand, undisturbed.

#2, that would seem to be correct.
And, suspect this is similar issue in other states who circumvented the Legislature during 2020.
I've commented, if anyone wants to use a drop box, those boxes should be similar to an ATM machine (proven technology), where there is a camera, only 1 ballot could be submitted at a time, and they could have a scanner inside the box to read the bar code on the ballot envelope. Thus, no ballot could simply be submitted, it would have to be in the envelope originally provided.
This would help with chain of custody, as there would be a counted number submitted (noted prior to opening the drop box) and the same number of ballots should be inside.
Heck, could even put additional safe-guards by making people log-in, obtain a code they would enter and would be connected to that particular ballot and person who's name is voting.
