Wisconsin Supreme Court has declined to take up Rebecca Kleefisch's lawsuit over ballot drop boxes

MADISON – A divided state Supreme Court declined Friday to take up a lawsuit challenging the power of the state Elections Commission brought by Republican candidate for governor Rebecca Kleefisch.

The court narrowly declined to take the case a week after agreeing to accept a separate case that challenges the use of ballot drop boxes — one of several issues raised by Kleefisch in her case.

In last week's decision, the justices ruled 4-3 that they would allow drop boxes to be used for the Feb. 15 spring primary and would decide later whether they could be used for other elections.

Friday's decision not to take Kleefisch's case fell along the same lines, with Justice Brian Hagedorn joining the court's three liberals. Hagedorn was elected in 2019 with the support of Republicans but has split with conservatives on some high-profile issues.
