Office of Governor Tony Evers *FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:*?July 8, 2022 Contact:[email protected]? ? *Gov. Evers Releases Statement Regarding Supreme Court*?***s** Decision Restricting Access to the Ballot Box* ? MADISON ? Gov. Tony Evers today released the following statement regarding the Supreme Court of Wisconsin?s decision ruling that absentee ballot drop boxes are illegal in Wisconsin:

?A basic but defining feature of our state and our country is the notion that politicians should not be able to abuse their power to prevent eligible voters from casting their ballots or cheat by changing the rules just because they didn?t like the outcome of the last election.?

?At the very heart of our democracy is the fundamental right for every eligible voter to be able to cast their ballot?a right that?s far too important to be left to the whims of any politician or political party. We should be working every day to protect that fundamental right?by making it as easy as possible for every eligible voter to vote in Wisconsin.

?Today?s decision is another in a long line of Wisconsin Republicans? successes to make it harder for Wisconsinites to exercise their right to vote, to undermine our free, fair, and secure elections, and to threaten our democracy.?
