Wisconsin Supreme Court new liberal majority reverses ruling that banned most ballot drop boxes in swing state
Fox News
The Wisconsin Supreme Court in a 4-3 decision reversed a ruling by the prior conservative majority banning most ballot drop-boxes in the swing state.
That case, known as Teigen v. Wisconsin Elections Commission, centered on a state statute that requires an absentee ballot be returned "to the municipal clerk" by one of two ways: by the elector mailing in the envelope or by the elector delivering the ballot in person to the municipal clerk. It upheld that state statute does not allow offsite, unattended drop boxes, and drop boxes could only be placed in local election clerks’ offices and no one other than the voter could return a ballot in person.

In a 4-3 ruling on Friday, the state's high court reversed course.
