Senate Dems File Motion to Intervene Against Lawsuit That Aims to Make Ballot Drop Boxes Illegal

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Attorneys for the Democratic Party filed a motion to intervene in Wisconsin state court on Tuesday in a lawsuit brought by conservatives who aim to stop the use of drop boxes in elections.

The effort to intervene on behalf of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) is being led by powerhouse Democratic attorney Marc Elias’s Democracy Docket team. The lead attorney on the filing is Charles G. Curtis, Jr., who is registered to practice law in Wisconsin and also part of the Perkins Coie law firm.

“Plaintiffs’ litigation is the latest in [a] relentless attack, all undertaken with the aim of making it harder for Wisconsin voters to successfully cast ballots in the state’s elections,” the Democratic motion notes. “They seek to have all drop boxes declared illegal, no matter how secure and how carefully regulated.”

Originally filed by plaintiffs Richard Teigen and Richard Thom, who each describe themselves as a “registered Wisconsin voter and a taxpayer,” the lawsuit targets the Wisconsin Election Commission (WEC) and asks a Waukesha County court to bar the agency from authorizing the use of ballot drop boxes in upcoming elections.

1. This pisses me off,

Good on Marc Elias, he is a saint, but law suits take years to resolve.

If I were Chuck Schumer I would bring a bill to the floor that addresses drop boxes. Bring a bill to the floor tomorrow and when Republicans vote it down use it as ammunition against Manchin and Sinema to eliminate the filibuster for election based bills.

I am not a patient person.
