oh, and fawk Wisconsin........

A divided Wisconsin Supreme Court has denied a request from the state elections commission to keep absentee ballot drop boxes in place through the April 5 election for local offices.

The court's 4-3 ruling Friday means that after Tuesday’s primary, drop boxes located outside of local election clerks’ offices will be illegal.

No one other than the voter will be allowed to return an absentee ballot.

That was a lower court’s ruling that the Supreme Court put on hold through the primary. The court has yet to rule on the underlying case, which will determine the legality of absentee drop boxes going forward in the battleground state.

that paper ballots are the focus of attention, when even their "Dear Leader" decried the supposedly rigged voting machines.

The correct strategy from the Left probably should have been to agree to get rid of electronic voting machines entirely, and demand hand-counted paper ballots everywhere. It's the only way we can be reasonably sure that all ballots have been counted.

In other words, TFG was probably correct in his assumption that voting machines can be rigged, but he was too stupid to realize they were being rigged in his favor, more places than not. All the rest of this nonsense is just pure voter suppression to aid with their machine rigging strategies.

Any politician who supports electronic voting and tabulating machines gives me pause.
