Brown v. Wisconsin Elections Commission
The Wisconsin Supreme Court will consider whether a city’s use of a mobile voting unit — a truck outfitted with poll equipment that moves to different spots around the city — violates state laws allowing municipalities to select alternative sites for in-person absentee voting.
The state election agency found no violation. A trial court reversed, and the state high court agreed to bypass the intermediate appellate court and hear the appeal directly. The high court previously refused to stay the trial court’s holding that the truck is unlawful.
