The Wisconsin Supreme Court’s new liberal majority said on Friday that ballot drop boxes can once again be used widely in the state, reversing a ruling issued two years ago when the court had a conservative majority.
On a practical level, the ruling changes how Wisconsin, a closely divided state that could tip the Electoral College, will carry out an election that is just four months away. On a symbolic level, the judicial U-turn is likely to fuel Republican claims that the court has become a nakedly partisan force — claims that Democrats made themselves not long ago, when most of the justices were conservatives.
Drop boxes were used in Wisconsin for years as one of several ways, along with early in-person and mail-in voting, for voters to submit ballots before Election Day. The widespread use of drop boxes in 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic, drew the ire of Republicans and prompted a lawsuit that the court’s previous majority decided by mostly banning their use.
“Our decision today does not force or require that any municipal clerks use drop boxes,” Justice Ann Walsh Bradley, a liberal, wrote for the four-justice majority on Friday. “It merely acknowledges,” she added, what Wisconsin law “has always meant: that clerks may lawfully utilize secure drop boxes in an exercise of their statutorily conferred discretion.”
Her conservative colleague, Justice Rebecca Bradley, disagreed, writing in a dissent that “the majority again forsakes the rule of law in an attempt to advance its political agenda.”

Republicans need to cheat 10x the Dems.
Give Trump 12 billion votes.

As far as I can see, nothing in what democrats have been doing is beyond conservatives. Conservatives chose not to do it because of blah blah blah. In the end conservatives lose, election by election, eventually the country

Stealing WI is critical for the Dems.
DEMOCRATS ARE LAWLESS BECAUSE REPUBLICANS ARE BALLLESS !
While Trump is gloating on social media over his debate performance and lead in the polls taken after, Democrats are laying the groundwork for the steal of 2024.
The fix is in. They rigged it so that Biden is going to win. But the problem is that nobody is going to buy it. Hence the urgency to get rid of him on the ballot.
Another steal is in place in Wisconsin
What will the Wisconsin State Legislature do with their constitutional powers to determine the times, places and manner of elections?

....Wisconsin Supreme Court Says Ballot Drop Boxes Can Again Be Used...
Ew, disgusting!
Post volunteers around them 24/7 and video anybody who drops off more than one ballot. That will neuter the ones paid to submit harvested/trafficked ballots.
