Wisconsin elections: Lawsuit seeks to bar absentee ballot drop boxes


View Comments
MADISON - Two suburban Milwaukee voters asked a judge Monday to block the use of absentee ballot drop boxes in Wisconsin.
With the assistance of a conservative legal group, the pair made the request three days after the state Supreme Court declined to take a separate case that challenged the legality of ballot drop boxes. Drop boxes were widely used in Wisconsin last year in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Disability rights advocates push back against GOP voting legislation


RILEY VETTERKIND
Disability rights advocates on Wednesday pushed back against a number of Republican bills proposing changes to Wisconsin s absentee voting process that they say would make it more difficult for people with disabilities to cast ballots.
Disability Rights Wisconsin and voters with disabilities in particular took issue with two bills the Republican-controlled state Senate passed Tuesday. One would make changes, including some new restrictions, on how absentee ballots can be returned, and another would prohibit local election officials from filling out incomplete information on a voter’s absentee ballot certificate, such as missing witness address information. 
Voters with disabilities have a higher utilization of absentee voting because so many experience barriers to voting in person, said Barbara Beckert, director of external advocacy for Disability Rights Wisconsin, during a Zoom call Wednesday. These are among a number of bill ....

Absentee ballot drop box
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Wisconsin voters with disabilities urged lawmakers on Wednesday to reconsider two Republican-backed bills passed by the state Senate that would make it more difficult to cast absentee ballots.
Advocates and those with disabilities said the two measures put people with physical challenges at a particular disadvantage. Disability Rights Wisconsin estimates that 23% of registered in voters in the state have some sort of disability, based on data from the American Association of People with Disabilities.
Ultimately, they’re harming a very large minority, said Stephanie Birmingham, who has the condition osteogenesis imperfecta and uses a wheelchair. Birmingham, who lives in Sturgeon Bay, joined others on a virtual news conference to speak out against the bills. ....
