Wisconsin judge fines state elections commission for failing to remove thousands from voter rolls A Wisconsin judge on Monday found the state Elections Commission, as well as three of its members, in contempt of court for their failure to remove thousands of people from Wisconsin voter rolls in compliance with an order he imposed in December, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Judge Paul Malloy said the three Democratic commission members who have fought his order, Ann Jacobs, Julie Glancey and Mark Thomsen, must each pay $250 a day for every day they fail to comply, while the commission itself must pay $50 a day.
Jacobs said she still does not believe Malloy’s ruling was correct. "If we are going to treat voting as the central component of our democracy, we need to be far less cavalier about taking people off the rolls," she said, according to the newspaper.
The commission, comprising three Democrats and three Republicans will meet Tuesday for a multi-day process to determine whether to remove more than 200,000 voters from the state’s rolls. The commission in October notified about 230,000 people it believed may have moved that they would be removed from the rolls in2021 if they did not update their registrations or confirm they were at the same address.
Malloy ruled in favor of three plaintiffs represented by the conservative Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, who argued in a lawsuit that the voters must be removed much sooner.
Malloy also blasted Thomson for making public comments suggesting his ruling only represented one interpretation of state law, according to the Journal-Sentinel.
“To say this is one person’s opinion is not accurate. It is one person’s opinion, but the person is a judge, trained, taken an oath to follow the law and I don’t think any of the lawyers here think I haven’t done my share of work on the case,” he said.
President Trump won the state in 2016 by a margin of under 23,000 votes
Pay up you illegal voter loving jokers.
Nice to see a good judge upholding the law and common sense.
I left CA over 12 years ago. Last month I got mail from the county where I lived Registrar of Voters wanting to know if I still lived at the CA address (they mailed it to my correct present address) and where they should send my ballot.
OMG. REPORT THAT!
Call be cynical.
YEA!!!
Well past time to stop vote fraud.
A rare victory in the battle against voter fraud.
HA!
Libtards getting their moonbat ass handed to them.
Take a picture and send it to your congress critter.
Cue Nelson Muntz !
Ask them for a record of your participation in recent elections and primaries. That would be fun.
It should be $250 per illegal voter per day...

Stoopid. If we are going to treat voting as the central component of our democracy, we need to be far more accurate with the voter rolls.
Exactly! Jacobs sounds like a dedicated leftist airhead.
It would be interesting to know how many were party affiliated and to which party.
If this robed turd had a clue, it should be 1 year for every 50 not removed from the rolls. and the commission placed under court purview until it's done.
Every time I post “voter fraud” on FB, Democrats insist there’s no voter fraud....
In the second paragraph, it’s three Dems on the commission.
Well, its better than I have ever seen in my lifetime.
