MADISON - Republicans in the Wisconsin Senate are scheduled Wednesday to approve legislation that would limit the availability of ballot drop boxes in some communities, create more paperwork for absentee voters and require disabled voters to provide copies of their IDs to vote in more cases.
The bills face almost certain vetoes from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers if they get to him.
Republicans and Democrats have been warring over election rules after Joe Biden narrowly defeated Donald Trump in Wisconsin in last year s presidential election.
Republicans argued overhauling the state s absentee policies would build trust in the state s voting system, while Democrats contended the legislation sows needless doubts about an election that was conducted properly. Recounts in Milwaukee and Dane counties and several court rulings confirmed Biden s win in Wisconsin.
