More than 200,000 Wisconsin voters will be removed from the rolls

A Wisconsin judge on Friday ordered the state to purge more than 200,000 people from voter rolls because they may have moved, according to The Associated Press.
Ozaukee County Judge Paul Malloy sided with three voters represented by a conservative law firm in denying the request by attorneys for the state elections commission to have his decision put on hold.
The decision means the state has to remove approximately 234,000 people from its voter rolls before the 2020 election, though the decision is expected to be appealed.
“I can’t tell them how to do that, they’re going to have to figure that out,†Malloy said, according to the AP.
The lawsuit argues that the state elections commission should have immediately deactivated any of the voters who didn’t respond to a mailing in October within 30 days, which would flag them as having potentially moved.
