Judge Rebecca "Resting Cunt Face" Bradley can go fucketh her selfeth.

There was no electoral fraud in the 2020 election.

I mean, there was, but the Republicans were doing it.

"forsaking the rule of law" for something that was never a problem and was used in the state for DECADES... until the conservatives lost, then it's a big problem, hmm.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


In the Friday 4-3 ruling, Justice Ann Walsh Bradley wrote for the majority: “Our decision today does not force or require that any municipal clerks use drop boxes.

The 2022 conservative court had ruled that drop boxes were illegal in the battleground state, making the voting process more complicated for some Wisconsin voters.

Although drop boxes had been used in the state for decades, they came under fire during the 2020 presidential election and the Covid-19 pandemic, when limiting in-person interactions was paramount.

Republican claims of voter fraud in absentee ballots led to questioning the legitimacy of drop boxes — especially in Wisconsin, where President Joe Biden narrowly defeated Donald Trump in 2020.

In her dissent, Judge Rebecca Bradley claimed the liberal majority “again forsakes the rule of law in an attempt to advance its political agenda.”

She then accused the majority of “loosening the legislature’s regulations governing the privilege of absentee voting in the hopes of tipping the scales in future elections.”
