Legislative Republicans Back Away From Efforts to Regulate Ballot Drop Boxes After Complaint From Former President

(Raymond Neupert) Legislative Republicans seem to be backing away from efforts to regulate ballot drop boxes following complaints from Former President Donald Trump.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that a bill that would have created rules on how ballot drop boxes could be used is out of the picture after Trump complained that it would make those boxes legal at all.

The bill's author, Senator Kathleen Bernier, says that she hadn't heard a single complaint about the bill until Trump's statement and that any changes to the bill should come through the committee process and not through statements from Trump.

She added that the change in plans was "disgusting".
