Two Counties Remove Outdoor Voter Ballot Drop Boxes Amid Security, Legal Concerns

In-person early voting begins in Georgia and other states

Two Wisconsin counties have removed outdoor voter ballot drop boxes amid security and legal concerns. Brown and Waukesha counties, both of which voted for former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election, have removed the drop boxes, citing concerns about potential voter fraud and the legality of the boxes under state law.

The removal of the drop boxes has sparked criticism from voting rights advocates, who say it will make it more difficult for people to vote. They argue that the drop boxes are a safe and convenient way to vote, and that there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud.

Arguments for and Against Ballot Drop Boxes

Proponents of ballot drop boxes argue that they are a safe and convenient way to vote. They say that the boxes are monitored by security cameras and that there have been no reports of voter fraud involving drop boxes.

Opponents of ballot drop boxes argue that they are not secure and that they could lead to voter fraud. They say that the boxes could be tampered with or that ballots could be stolen from them.

There is no evidence to support the claim that ballot drop boxes are not secure. In fact, a study by the Brennan Center for Justice found that there have been no credible allegations of voter fraud involving drop boxes.

Conclusion

The removal of ballot drop boxes in Brown and Waukesha counties is a setback for voting rights. It will make it more difficult for people to vote, and it sends the message that voting is not a priority.

It is important to remember that there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud. The vast majority of voters are honest and simply want to make their voices heard.

We must protect the right to vote. We must ensure that everyone has the opportunity to vote, and that their votes are counted.
