WisGOP Statement on SCOWIS Ruling on Absentee Drop Boxes
MADISON, Wis. – If you are covering the Wisconsin Supreme Court‘s decision concerning unstaffed absentee drop boxes, please consider the following statement from the Republican Party of Wisconsin:
NOTE: This press release was submitted to Urban Milwaukee and was not written by an Urban Milwaukee writer. While it is believed to be reliable, Urban Milwaukee does not guarantee its accuracy or completeness.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court erred in allowing “Drop Boxes” in the upcoming election, Unattended drop boxes encourage ballot stuffing and other illegal acts eroding the public’s confidence in fair and transparent elections. This decision must be reversed.
Schimming fails to note that Wisconsin voters DID express their views when we elected Judge Janet thus turning SCOWis from an ideological, irrational arm of the Republican party. We stated emphatically that we are fed up with the reactionary ideology of the now minority members. We expect that the new majority will undo the numerous SCOWis decisions that placed the desires of wealthy individuals and corporations above the needs of Wisconsin citizens.
