The Wisconsin Supreme Court says today in a 4-3 decision it will not take up a lawsuit filed by Republican candidate for governor @RebeccaforReal against the Wisconsin Elections Commission over the use of ballot drop boxes.
@RebeccaforReal The court is considering a separate case on the same issue. Conservative justice Brian Hagedorn sided with the court's liberal justices in the ruling.
@RebeccaforReal Justice Patience Roggensack's dissent: "The legality of absentee ballot guidance from WEC has been simmering since 2020, and
will likely continue until we thoroughly address absentee ballot issues generated by WEC."
@RebeccaforReal "Because the majority sidesteps its obligation to hear the continuing cry of Wisconsin voters and address absentee ballot issues, I respectfully dissent."

GOP lawmakers are proposing today to amend the state constitution to bar government officials from using private funding or resources for elections.

The amendment would need to pass through two consecutive legislative sessions and be approved by voters. Evers can't veto.
Also this morning, Democratic lawmakers are asking Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu to rescind the appointment of Robert Spindell to the Wisconsin Elections Commission for being part of a group of Wisconsin Republicans who submitted false elector paperwork in 2020.

"Without getting into specifics, the recompense is coming," a Republican state lawmaker said this week about Assembly Speaker Robin Vos' decision to discipline him by removing a staffer from his office. jsonline.com/story/news/pol…
$20K was raised for the staffer, who has since resigned from the Legislature to work for Rep. Timothy Ramthun of Campbellsport without a salary.
"I hear stuff like, 'you know, the speaker plays chess while everyone else is playing checkers.' Well, (if so) ... you would not have done what you did last Wednesday by taking my staff away because you poked the hornet's nest in this entire state and beyond," Ramthun said.
