US EditionTrump Administration Accuses Wisconsin of Violating Federal Election Law
- On Wednesday, the Trump administration notified the Wisconsin Elections Commission that it intends to block future federal election funding due to violations of federal law.
- This measure comes after a state court decision in Wisconsin during 2022 that prohibited the use of ballot drop boxes, combined with the elections commission’s failure to establish a federally mandated complaint procedure for voters.
- WEC Chair Ann Jacobs defended the commission, citing the court's view that it would be 'nonsensical' for the commission to judge complaints against itself and pointing complainants to the court system.
- The state has received over $77 million from federal election programs since 2002, but DOJ warned that WEC actions justify barring future funding.
- The funding threat delayed a state legislative vote on WEC’s budget and raises concerns about Wisconsin's election administration moving forward.
