WILL filed a motion to intervene in a lawsuit seeking to overturn Wisconsin Election Law, on behalf of two Wisconsin voters and the Association of Mature American Citizens, Inc. (AMAC), a membership association with nearly 50,000 Wisconsin members.
The lawsuit was brought by Priorities USA, a Left-leaning Super PAC, and seeks to undo WILL’s recent win in the Wisconsin Supreme Court, where the Court held that absentee-ballot drop boxes are not authorized by Wisconsin law. The case also seeks to remove other important election security measures.
🗯 Rick Esenberg, WILL President and General Counsel, stated, “The stakes for this case could not be higher. A far-left Super PAC from outside of Wisconsin is attempting to rewrite our laws. If they don’t like the law, they need to go to the legislature. WILL has a proven track record of defending the right to vote and also the rule of law, and we plan to aggressively defend the previous ruling we secured in Teigen v. WEC.”
🗯 Luke Berg, WILL Deputy Counsel, added, “This case is yet another attempt by the left to use the courts to remove meaningful election-integrity protections. WILL stands ready to defend our election laws, uphold Wisconsin statutes, and deny out-of-state interference.”
🗯 Bob Carlstrom, WILL Client and AMAC Action President (the advocacy affiliate of AMAC), said, “On behalf of our over 2 million members nationwide and over 50,000 Wisconsin residents, we are very concerned about the efforts of the plaintiffs to dilute, weaken, and confuse Wisconsin’s current absentee voting statutes’ intent to protect and ensure the integrity of the votes cast by Wisconsin citizens. The integrity of elections is our foremost priority and we strongly oppose efforts such as the plaintiff’s as counter to the rightful interests of the individual voter for free and fair elections and correct, not manipulated, outcomes.”
