The Wisconsin Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal of a circuit court’s January 13 decision “that held that [Wisconsin Election Commission’s] guidance on absentee ballot drop boxes [deployed statewide in the 2020 election] violates state law, and/or should have been adopted through the rulemaking process.”
The lawsuit challeng[ed] the legal status of absentee ballot drop boxes after WEC issued unlawful guidance to clerks, in 2020, encouraging the use of absentee ballot drop boxes, and telling voters that others can return their ballot for them.”
“This advice was contrary to state law,” WILL argued on behalf of the plaintiffs:
Voting is a constitutional right, but state law makes clear that, “voting by absentee ballot is a privilege exercised wholly outside the traditional safeguards of the polling place.” There are just two legal ways in Wisconsin to submit an absentee ballot. When voting by absentee ballot, state law says “[t]he envelope [containing the ballot] shall be mailed by the elector, or delivered in person, to the municipal clerk issuing the ballot or ballots.”
Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael Bohren issued a summary judgment ruling on January 13 siding with the plaintiffs, as the Wisconsin Supreme Court recently noted:
On January 13, 2022, the circuit court conducted a hearing and issued an oral ruling granting summary judgment to the plaintiffs and denying the defendants’ request for summary judgment. The circuit court declared that the Commission’s guidance on these matters contravenes the statutes and that the guidance documents constituted administrative rules under Chapter 227, which were invalid because they were not duly promulgated as rules. The court directed the Commission to withdraw the disputed guidance and to advise the clerks, no later than January 27, 2022, that the guidance had been declared invalid.
The court then permanently enjoined the Commission from issuing future guidance conflicting with Wis. Stat. §§ 6.87 and 6.855. A written order incorporating this oral decision was entered on January 20, 2022.
