The liberal majority of the Wisconsin Supreme Court signaled on May 13 that it is willing to overturn a prior decision by the court, which all but eliminated absentee ballot drop boxes in the state.

The court has been asked to reconsider its July 2022 ruling that state law does not support the use of absentee ballot drop boxes located outside of election clerks’ offices. Conservative justices held the majority when that ruling was issued. However, now that the court’s ideological makeup has shifted toward the left, it appears a reversal may be in the works.
