Wisconsin Supreme Court: Ballot Drop Boxes Are Illegal

That is what they are paid to do
The most common reason for rejecting mail in ballots is signatures

And the most common fight-back is over the signatures.

When the pandemic hit and there were swarms of mail in ballots, how hard did they really check?

Votes were verified as they always are. That is why they took so long to count

Given all the petty complaints from Conservatives, you think if they skipped signature verification they wouldn’t have contested the count?

Well, that and the fact that several legislatures passed laws that said votes cast on Election Day had to be counted before the mail in votes were.
I mean it's not like all those votes couldn't have been tallied before Election Day so when the polls close the tallies could have been added right away.
Florida and Texas do it.
 
You have joe citizen with no qualifications "checking" signatures. That certainly wouldn't pass muster in a court of law.

It has passed muster for over 200 years of signature validation

It is easier to present a fake ID than forge a signature real time

Wisconsin doesn't worry me, Georgia and Penn do.
 

from the article:

Drop boxes that enable people to drop off ballots cast by themselves and others are illegal under Wisconsin law, the state’s Supreme Court ruled on July 8.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) in two documents in 2020 said drop boxes can not only be utilized, but that they can be unstaffed and permanent. Further, the agency said “a family member or another person” can drop off a ballot on behalf of a voter.

The guidance was problematic because Wisconsin law states that a voter is the only individual who can deliver their ballot, either in person or via mail, a lawsuit filed last year stated.
I forgot which top court made the ruling, but essentially their ruling was that votes cast under laws or rules that are later overturned, does NOT, in any way invalidate the votes cast under the overturned rules. Essentially, votes cast under the rules at the time of the election are valid. Overturning the rules, doesn't over turn the vote.

So the ruling may effect the 2022 elections, but has nothing to do with 2020.
 
No different than a mail box
Just safer
I wonder why their law doesn't require "chain of custody" for mailed in ballots?
I'm sure the post office (note sarcasm) would be happy to generate the paperwork showing which mailbox every vote came from.

Specifically they say that mail-in votes can't be processed before the day of the election. Which means that's when they start verifying signatures. Effectively delaying the process for days. That's why in normal elections, such as Florida in 2000, the absentee ballots weren't counted in the original vote tallies. They were only counted during the recount.

Those states are afraid of checking the mail-in ballots before election day, because that gives the election board the time to contact the voter to correct any errors or omissions on the ballot envelope. Such as not filling out the "FULL" address.

You realize we have joe citizen as president of the united states. We have joe citizen doing all levels of government work. You leave out they're trained in all the voting rules, and procedures, just like the bank teller checking signatures.

Do you know how many also worked with Stacy Abrams organizations? There was a shitload in GA. Money talks and propaganda works. Those idiots thought they were saving America.
 
What bar codes are you referring to?

You obviously have never voted by mail

The ballot you receive by mail has an envelope with a bar code that traces to your name, address and voting location. You also have to sign and seal that envelope
That bar code is scanned upon receipt and you are marked off as having voted.

Any ballots dropped into a mailbox or drop box that don’t have a valid barcode are discarded
 
By having access to the voter rolls. Next.

OK
You have access to voter rolls (you really don’t)

You have no way of knowing who voted or didn’t vote in an election. If duplicate votes start showing up, which would be unavoidable, you would have grounds to claim the vote was compromised

None did show up
