Kenosha Pledges to Stop Using Ballot Drop Boxes After Wisconsin Supreme Court Ruled They’re Illegal

Following a contentious legal battle with Wisconsin voters, the city of Kenosha has agreed to stop using unmanned ballot drop boxes in future elections, according to a press release from the Thomas More Society.

In a May lawsuit filed by the Thomas More Society on behalf of the Wisconsin Voter Alliance, the plaintiffs argued that Kenosha’s policy “concerning the use of absentee ballot drop boxes violated state law.”

“Attorneys representing Kenosha had filed a motion in June 2022 to dismiss the complaint, but the July 8, 2022, ruling by the Wisconsin Supreme Court banned the use of the drop boxes,” the press release reads. “An August 23, 2022, hearing for the case began with Kenosha changing the argument to ‘mootness’ with nothing left to argue, thereby handing the victory to the voters.”

While Kenosha Assistant City Attorney Bryan Charbogian reportedly indicated that the city would stop its use of ballot drop boxes, Thomas More Society Special Counsel Erick Kaardal “refuted the dismissal, pointing out that the city had not changed their 2020 policies concerning drop boxes” and argued that the case “should not be dismissed for mootness until such time the Kenosha Common Council repeals the current drop box policy.” (Read more from “Kenosha Pledges to Stop Using Ballot Drop Boxes After Wisconsin Supreme Court Ruled They’re Illegal” HERE)
