Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul joined an ongoing legal battle over the use of absentee ballot drop boxes in the state’s elections, with the state Department of Justice filing a brief that argues state law does not prohibit their use.

A judge ruled Thursday that unmanned ballot drop boxes are here to stay in a case that could have monumentally shifted how Arizonans' vote

A judge has rebuffed a bid by a group that backs additional restrictions on voting that sought to outlaw the use of "drop boxes'' that can make it easier for some people to return their early ballots.

In a 7-page opinion, Yavapai County Superior Court Judge John Napper said that Arizona lawmakers clearly are aware unmonitored drop boxes are authorized.
