Wisc. Elections Commissioner on a Big Drop in Number of Drop Boxes: ‘Entirely Due to Conspiracy Theories’

JANSING I wonder what ░░░░░░░░ are watching for today ░░░░░░░░ that early in person ░░░░░░░░ has started JACOBS Thank ░░░░░░░░ so much for having ░░░░░░░░ We are watching to ░░░░░░░░ whether or not we ░░░░░░░░ going to have smooth ░░░░░░░░ voting here in Wisconsin ░░░░░░░░ whether or not there ░░░░░░░░ going to be challenges ░░░░░░░░ the polls to our ░░░░░░░░ So far it s ░░░░░░░░ quiet I hope it ░░░░░░░░ that way JANSING Your ░░░░░░░░ elections commission lists 107 ░░░░░░░░ boxes in use throughout ░░░░░░░░ state right now There ░░░░░░░░ 500 during the 2020 ░░░░░░░░ Now obviously that was ░░░░░░░░ Covid year but it ░░░░░░░░ seems like a big ░░░░░░░░ What has happened between ░░░░░░░░ and now And is ░░░░░░░░ big drop tied to ░░░░░░░░ brought on by some ░░░░░░░░ these conspiracy theories JACOBS ░░░░░░░░ my opinion it s ░░░░░░░░ due to conspiracy theories ░░░░░░░░ was a movie that ░░░░░░░░ made that claimed that ░░░░░░░░ boxes were being surreptitiously ░░░░░░░░ to stuff the ballots ░░░░░░░░ was completely false Unfortunately ░░░░░░░░ that meant was a ░░░░░░░░ of communities decided they ░░░░░░░░ t want to have ░░░░░░░░ boxes I suspect there ░░░░░░░░ more than 107 We ░░░░░░░░ t require clerks to ░░░░░░░░ us if they re ░░░░░░░░ drop boxes But that ░░░░░░░░ said they re the ░░░░░░░░ way to get an ░░░░░░░░ ballot back to a ░░░░░░░░ so it s disappointing ░░░░░░░░ communities are choosing not ░░░░░░░░ use them.”
