A new lawsuit filed in Wisconsin by a national Democratic law firm seeks to once again allow voters to return absentee ballots in drop boxes, a practice that was barred by the state Supreme Court last year following criticism by former President Donald Trump.

    No, it is not automatic. You need to register for absentee voting for every election. You can do it for a full calendar year’s worth of elections, but no more. If you miss turning it in (for instance, one year we ended up just going to the polls because we missed getting it in the mail on time), they automatically unregister you and you have to redo it.

    So yes there is tracking per voter, which only really starts after they receive it.

    We get no candidate information as part of this.

        Lol yeah, I mean that is definitely the fight here. Those who actually care about it are extremely aware of the situation. Voting accessibility is a big topic, but us being the most severely gerrymandered state in the country is a more pressing concern right now.

        The newly flipped state supreme court gives a small glimmer of hope for new maps. Much depends on that.
