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.

Politifact: Pelosi Gets “Pants On Fire” Rating Over Claims Of Wisconsin Voter Suppression

Is Wisconsin really attempting to block 200,000 citizens from voting in a purge of the voter rolls? Nancy Pelosi sent up a “beyond alarming” alert two days ago, telling Democrats in the state to “organize” against the effort. Few would have guessed that a Democratic administration in Wisconsin could stage such a widespread voter suppression effort, but that’s apparently what Pelosi believes:
...
Just to remind everyone, the governor of Wisconsin is no longer Republican Scott Walker. Democrat Tony Evers took over in January of this year, which means that Democrats are in charge of the electoral process in the state. Furthermore, this is not a case of 200,000 voters being blocked, as the Journal-Sentinel reported the next day. It is an example of routine maintenance of voter rolls, in which states remove dormant registrations in order to prevent voter fraud. Plus, the courts have reviewed the process and are allowing it to go forward:

Just an example of how eagerly the Dems lie when they claim "voter suppression".
