RNC Statement on Wisconsin Supreme Court's Decision to Allow Drop Boxes

WASHINGTON- Following the news that the Wisconsin Supreme Court has allowed drop boxes in the state, RNC Chairman Michael Whatley released the following statement:

"Just two years ago, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that state law prohibits the use of ballot drop boxes. Today, the morning after Fourth of July, a new liberal majority on the Supreme Court overturned this recent precedent and opened the floodgates for drop boxes across the state just months before the presidential election. The Court did this after unnecessarily fast-tracking the case to issue this decision before the election.

Make no mistake: this partisan decision handed down by a partisan Court gives Democrats a green light to dismantle election security safeguards and invite election fraud. The RNC's unprecedented election integrity operation will continue fighting to ensure drop box safeguards are adopted and implemented. Now more than ever we must protect the ballot and secure the election."
