Bill Prohibiting Ballot Drop Boxes in Wisconsin Receives Public Hearing

(Wisconsin Radio Network) At the Capitol, legislation that would prohibit use of ballot drop boxes in all Wisconsin elections received a public hearing in the Assembly Elections Committee on Tuesday.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, Committee vice-chair, Representative Scott Krug said he has a “fact based, political problem” with the bill. Krug said Democratic Governor Tony Evers would likely veto the bill if it reaches his desk, and that would leave drop boxes essentially unregulated.

The state Supreme Court ruled last year that clerks may use ballot drop boxes, but there currently no state statutes on how they can be used. The bill’s author, Representative Lindee Brill of Sheboygan Falls, said she was unwilling to amend the measure.

Brill said he is taking the issue head on because Republican President Donald Trump believes ballot drop boxes should be banned nationwide.
