Democratic Wisconsin Election Commissioner Ann Jacobs claimed Tuesday that drop boxes were among “the most secure” ways to vote, blaming “conspiracy theorists” for causing voters to be skeptical of their reliability.

In-person early voting in the swing state started Tuesday, USA Today reported. MSNBC host Chris Jansing noted during the interview with Jacobs that the number of known drop box locations in the state had declined to 107 from over 500 in the 2020 election, with the Wisconsin election commissioner saying “conspiracy theories” are to blame for the sharp decline.

WATCH:

“I tell them that it is the most secure way short of handing your ballot to your clerk’s hands. It goes through,” Jacobs claimed. “We have guidelines for the Wisconsin Elections Commission for all of the communities in the state on how to make sure they’re safe and secure, how to make sure that the chain of custody between the drop box and the clerk occurs.”

“I always tell people, think about how many people touch a piece of mail, if you put it in your mailbox to go out into the mail stream, it goes to your postal carrier, it goes to a sorting entity,” Jacobs said. “For a lot of the state of Wisconsin, it goes to one of the two major cities, either Minneapolis in Minnesota or to Milwaukee, and then it gets redistributed and redelivered. So drop boxes are just a great safe way to turn in your absentee ballots, and it’s disappointing that conspiracy theorists have caused that to be limited for some voters.”

Former President Donald Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris by 0.4% in Wisconsin, according to the RealClear Polling average of polls taken from Sept. 28 to Oct. 20, with six of the last seven polls showing the former president either in the lead or a tie. The vice president leads Trump by 0.6% when Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein, independent candidate Cornel West and Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver are included in surveys of the state.

Trump won Wisconsin in the 2016 election, edging former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by 0.7%, and lost to then-former Vice President Joe Biden by 0.7% in 2020. In both years, the opinion polls understated Trump’s support by at least six percentage points.
