they re not going to be able to use a dropbox to cast their ballot. this is the first election since february when the wisconsin supreme court ruled voters have to turn in their own absentee ballots instead of somebody else doing it for them, and for some voters with disabilities that s a big hurdle. i want to bring in now from milwaukee nbc news correspondent shaq brewster. shaq, talk to us about how these new rules are affecting some of the voters you re talking with today. reporter: well, specifically impacting, hallie, those voters who want to vote by mail or who have that absentee ballot. the circuit court ruling says that based on his interpretation of wisconsin election law he says that a voter must personally return his or her own ballot either by putting it in the mailbox or directly to the clerk. the impact of that? well, you mentioned, it closed down dropboxes across the state of wisconsin. but for those who relied on a spouse, on a caregiver to return that absentee ballot
heartbreaking and tragic and horrific. stand by, harold and peter. i want to bring in nbc s gabe gutierrez, who is four hours southwest of kyiv. how does zelenskyy s address add urgency to what is happening on the ground right now in ukraine? well, andrea, a lot of urgency. president zelenskyy calling out the united nations and his descriptions of the atrocities in bucha made all of the more powerful, because they were done, he says, by a permanent member of the u.n. security council. gabe, i have to interrupt you because we re about to see the video that didn t play earlier. and it s very graphic. please a caution, with children at home. these are the images provided by ukraine s government.
