With the vote certification process engaged, a new lawsuit is
threatening to throw a wrench into the process; seeking to block
certification, claiming that all ballots cast through drop boxes
– an accommodation enacted to safeguard against COVID – are
illegally cast ballots.
A newly filed lawsuit in the Wisconsin Supreme Court is seeking
to block the State of Wisconsin from certifying the November 3,
2020, General Election results. The lawsuit argues that all ballots
cast via drop boxes are illegal because the establishment of the
boxes themselves was illegal, thus creating a dilution of legal
votes cast.
The lawsuit asks the Wisconsin Supreme Court to discard the
illegal drop-box ballots, and, if said ballots cannot be identified
for rejection, that the state legislature should take charge of the
seating process for presidential electors to the Electoral
College.

The lawsuit, filed on November 27, 2020, was done so on behalf
of Wisconsin voter Dean Mueller. It argues that the Plaintiff’s
right to a “safe, free, secure and transparent presidential
election” was violated “in that his vote
has been diluted by the counting of thousands of illegal votes
placed in illegal ballot drop boxes across the State of
Wisconsin.”
The lawsuit states that over 500 ballot drop boxes were
illegally installed in 72 counties throughout the state in
violation of the law. The complaint goes on to state that the
Wisconsin Elections Commission did not have the authority, under
Wisconsin election law, to establish or approve their use.
The commission’s establishment, approval of, and endorsement
of the drop boxes use, the lawsuit states, amounted to unilaterally
enacting a new elections law. The US Constitution – along with a
reiteration of the provision in the 2000 Bush v. Gore decision –
accords such power exclusively to Congress or state
legislatures.
