The Wisconsin Supreme Court has kept a lower court’s ruling banning the use of mobile voting sites in the upcoming presidential election in place for now, a win for Republicans.

FILE - The City of Racine Clerk’s Office mobile voting van is seen on July 26, 2022, at the Dr. Martin Luther King Community Center in Racine, Wis. The Wisconsin Supreme Court late Tuesday, June 11, kept in place for now a lower court’s ruling banning the use of mobile voting sites in the upcoming presidential election, a win for Republicans. FILE - The entrance to the Wisconsin Supreme Court chambers is seen inside the state Capitol in Madison, Wis., March 14, 2024.

The order came just ahead of Wednesday’s deadline for municipalities to designate alternate locations for voters to cast early, absentee ballots. The court said state law means that an advantage to a political party can only be avoided if voters in the immediate vicinity of the early voting location cast their ballots exactly the same as voters who live in the immediate vicinity of the municipal clerk’s office.

The underlying case proceeds in the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which is expected to schedule oral arguments in the fall, too late to affect absentee voting rules for this year’s elections.
