Madison, Wis.— The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Friday that officials can place ballot drop boxes around their communities in this fall’s elections, overturning its own ruling two years ago limiting their use in the presidential swing state.
The court limited the use of drop boxes in July 2022, ruling then that they could be placed only in local election clerks’ offices and no one other than the voter could return a ballot in person. Conservatives controlled the court at that time, but Janet Protasiewicz’s election victory in April 2023 flipped the court to liberal control. Seeing an opening, Priorities USA, a progressive voter mobilization group, asked the court in February

Hmm, wonder why they are doing that? No control, no voter ID.

I hope Wisconsin Republicans will invest in 24/7 CCTV coverage and monitoring of all these drop boxes, especially in Milwaukee, Dane, Racine, Kenosha and Brown counties.
And work to purge duplicate/deceased/inaccurate voters from the rolls prior to the sending of ballots (especially unrequested ballots).
The Democrats game is to flood the zone with ballots. Once they are in circulation, then it's just a question of getting them processed, legally or illegally. Once the ballot is sent, it's much harder to invalidate it.

Every one of these needs to be manned and permanently video recorded. Shine the light and be prepared to have legal repercussions.

Cue the riots... oh, right, the normals never do anything, except get arrested, prosecuted or raided by outlaws. Amazing how no one is smart enough to see this coming and to fight it in the years between steals and complete destruction of every legal system at every level.

Don't Democrats always claim that "there are no Democrat or Republican judges"? Yet the second that an allegedly impartial Democrat majority takes over the Wisconsin Supreme Court, the liberal voting advocates go for ballot drop boxes again,; which had been previously limited by the courts. Will we now have thos back and forth legality, depending which political party controls the court?

To counter this the WI R party, with backing of the RNC, must recruit conservative "watchers" posted in shifts for 24/7 surveillance of the boxes, ready to video every transaction where some idiot brings armloads or boxes or bags of ballots for deposit. Document the fraud. Then go after them.

And there is the big Dem sigh of relief that they don't have to have Biden campaign anymore. It doesn't matter who they've got running as long as their fraud and cheating machine is intact.

Conservatives should hire teenage gangbanger thugs to patrol the locations of ballot drop boxes to mug anyone who uses them. Extra bonuses for illegal alien voters, and those with multiple ballots.

What would happen if these boxes suffered spontaneous combustion? How would they know whose vote wasn't counted to get them a new ballot?

It's okay folks-- "officials can place ballot drop boxes"... not those place with Zuckbucks!
Will these drop boxes ONLY be placed in demonrat neighborhoods again?
2,000 Mules rides again!
Non-profits (non-government organizations) will be stuffing hundreds of ballots over several weeks' time in US mailboxes in the dead of night all over again

OK Republicans start stuffing the boxes with DJT, drop tens of thousands of them. Make the vote so ridiculously high that maybe even the stupid will notice.

What is the actual purpose of having these drop boxes and mail in ballots (beyond the expanded opportunities for dem fraud)? And their rationale is to avoid voter suppression, but in fact, every fraudulent vote is a legitimate vote voided by a fraudulent vote. This has to stop.

another demcommie arm of the judiciary bending the rules to make sure droppy drawers wins in 2024 ...
this will not be an "honest" election because the obamacrats are up against a wall and will use every illegal, unethical and criminal means to make sure the decisiion ends in their favor
they're not concerned about droopy drawers now because he's outlived his usefulness and throwing him into the rubbish pile will only be a matter of time
