The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling striking down the use of ballot drop boxes is the latest evidence that a widely used mechanism for the 2020 election was illegal, undercutting Democratic claims that any irregularities in the contest were insufficient to sway outcomes.
On Friday, the state Supreme Court ruled in a 4-3 decision that the ballot drop boxes authorized by the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) for the 2020 presidential election were illegal and that only the voter may return their ballot in person.
The court noted that by spring 2021, municipal clerks reported that there were 570 drop boxes in 66 of Wisconsin’s 72 counties.
“Only the legislature may permit absentee voting via ballot drop boxes,” the court said in the ruling. “WEC cannot. Ballot drop boxes appear nowhere in the detailed statutory system for absentee voting. WEC’s authorization of ballot drop boxes was unlawful.”
Republican Wisconsin state Rep. Janel Brandtjen told the “Just the News, Not Noise” TV show Friday that the state Supreme Court decision affected hundreds of thousands of ballots that were cast in the 2020 presidential election.
“This was hundreds and hundreds of thousands of ballots in the state of Wisconsin that actually went through the dropbox process, which really was just handled by the bureaucracy,” Brandtjen said. “Instead of having the Legislature make rules about how the ballots were to be handled, instead, we were in a situation where bureaucrats just wrote out on paper how we were going to be handling ballots in the state of Wisconsin.”
Joe Biden was declared the winner of Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes in 2020 with a popular vote margin of 20,608, or .7%.
In December 2020, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that it was illegal for Gov. Tony Evers to issue an emergency order giving blanket permission for voters to declare themselves homebound and […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
