The conservative legal group, Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) today asked an Ozaukee County judge to hold the Wisconsin Elections Commission in contempt and charge them up to $12,000 per day in a lawsuit concerning Wisconsin's voter rolls. At issue is a ruling in December requiring the removal of over 200,000 voters from the state election rolls. WILL President and General Counsel Rick Esenberg said in a public statement, “Court orders are not optional.

The Wisconsin Elections Commission is holding a special teleconference meeting this morning to, among other things, have an update on the legal status of the purge of voters from the voter rolls. At the moment we have no information on the outcome of the meeting. Updates will follow.

The news ricocheted around the state - 234,000 to be removed from the voter polls. It sounds terrible. Well, it probably is terrible in the sense that as with most of the Republican moves against voter fraud, it is a solution searching for a problem. At the moment it is far from clear what will actually happen as the result of a ruling in an Ozaukee County court last week.

Good Morning from Lake Wissota…

While you were preparing to enjoy your Friday night fish fry, a Republican-appointed judge in the Milwaukee suburbs may have just fixed the 2020 election for the Republican Party and put an unnecessary barrier between the ballot box and almost a quarter-million Wisconsin voters, maybe even you.
