Nearly two weeks ago, the Wisconsin state Supreme Court blocked the use of drop-off boxes outside election offices for absentee ballots in forthcoming elections. According to the ruling, such ballots must be mailed in or delivered directly to a local election office.
Trump has claimed, without evidence, that such drop boxes were used in Wisconsin to swing the election to Biden falsely.
