A Wisconsin appeals court has temporarily blocked a judge's order that would have banned the use of absentee ballot drop boxes in the swing state.
The court issued its decision Monday afternoon. Assuming it stands, it would mean drop boxes can continue to be used for Wisconsin's Feb. 15 primary.
Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael Bohren sided with the conservative Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty earlier this month, ruling nothing in state law allows for absentee ballot drop boxes.

Since nothing in the state law allows for drop boxes, I'm assuming nothing in the state law forbids them.

That would be a bad assumption.
I do not know Wisconsin law. But most states have very clear laws rewarding how elections MUST be conducted. Very little "may" language, almost all of it is"will" or "shall."
