MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The state Supreme Court has decided it will hear a case dealing with the legality of mobile voting sites without first letting it wind through any lower appellate courts.
A conservative law firm sued in December 2022, alleging Racine city officials illegally used a voting van to collect absentee ballots that year.
A circuit judge in January ruled state law doesn’t allow mobile voting sites. The Racine city clerk and the Democratic National Committee asked the Supreme Court to hear an appeal directly without letting a lower appellate court rule first.
The court issued an order Friday indicated the justices had voted 4-3 to take the case.
