The Wisconsin Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments Monday in a case pushed by Democrats to overturn a ruling that all but eliminated the use of absentee ballot drop boxes in the swing state.

The court’s ruling will come within three months of the Aug. 13 primary and within six months of the November presidential election. A reversal could have implications on what is expected to be another razor-thin presidential race in Wisconsin.

President Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump in Wisconsin by just under 21,000 votes in 2020, four years after Trump narrowly took the state by a similar margin.

Since his defeat, Trump had claimed without evidence that drop boxes led to voter fraud. Democrats, election officials and some Republicans argued the boxes are secure.

        And Biden still has not appointed governors to get him removed. He has had the opportunity to do so for the last two years.

      Just a reminder that Biden could have easily had him replaced by now. The nine board of governors vote on the Postmaster General and no more than five can be from the same party. Currently there are two vacancies. The make up of the governors is 3 Republicans, 3 Democrats, and 1 independent. The last governor that was appointed by Biden was a Republican about two years ago. He can easily appoint two Democrats right now and get DeJoy booted. It is insane that he has not.

        I’m painfully aware of that, but try telling one of the blindly loyal party soldiers who pretend he can do no wrong 🤦

        Yup. Must be one of his owner donors keeping him from doing so. Maybe he and the rest of the Dem leadership don’t actually mean it when they say that they’ll fight against Republican attempts to sabotage elections 🤔
