The legal dispute over where absentee ballot drop boxes can be located is expected to wind up before the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
A judge sided with conservatives Thursday by ruling they can’t be located anywhere other than at the clerk’s office – and no one other than the voter can return the absentee ballot.
If the ruling stands, it means those drop boxes can’t be used in the spring primary election next month.
There are currently three lawsuits filed on the contentious issue and Thursday’s ruling is certain to be appealed.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court could make the final decision on the legality of using those drop boxes to make it easier for people to vote absentee.
