The 4-3 ruling means the drop boxes may be placed only in election offices and no one other than individual voters can return a ballot in person, and it goes into effect for the state's Aug. 9 primary and fall election, and the minority blasted the conservative majority for saying drop boxes cause voters "weakens" faith in elections, reported The Guardian.
