Voters With Disabilities Sue Wisconsin Elections Commission and Administrator Meagan Wolfe

(Bob Hague, WRN) Four Wisconsin voters with disabilities have filed a federal lawsuit against the state Elections Commission and Administrator Meagan Wolfe.

The plaintiffs argue the commission and Wolf interpreted the state Supreme Court's absentee ballot drop box decision in a manner that will disenfranchise disabled voters.

The court ruled absentee ballot drop boxes are illegal in Wisconsin, and ballots must either be hand delivered or put in the mail. The plaintiffs note disabled voters are often incapable of putting their own ballots in the mail.

They're seeking an injunction preventing WEC from administering elections in any manner that does not allow for third party assistance in returning or mailing ballots.
