A Waukesha County judge should declare that a federal voter registration form is illegal in Wisconsin because it omits questions and disclaimers required by state law, according to a lawsuit a conservative group filed Thursday against the Wisconsin Elections Commission.
The so-called National Voter Mail Registration Form breaks state law by not asking applicants whether they have felony convictions and doesn’t state that falsifying information on it is a felony, according to the lawsuit.
Beyond declaring the voter registration application illegal, a voter represented by the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty wants a Waukesha County Circuit Court judge to require the Elections Commission to rescind its approval of the form.
The lawsuit claims the application to register also violates state law because it doesn’t ask whether residents have resided in their “election district or ward” for 28 days.
“Failure to comply with statutory requirements around the creation and use of voter registration forms in Wisconsin hinders uniformity and predictability around the administration of elections and increases the risk of error,” the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit doesn’t request any action against people who already registered with the form.
The voter registration form in question is made available by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, a federal agency. Many states are required to use the application, but Wisconsin is exempt from that requirement because it has same-day voter registration.
The Elections Commission in its election administration manual lists the form as one of several options available to residents seeking to become voters. Wisconsinites can register to vote online, at the polling place, in their clerk’s office or by mail through the contested form and other registration forms.
A spokesperson for the Elections Commission declined to comment for this story. The spokesperson did not say about how many people have registered to vote using the form.
The lawsuit claims the form illegally omits a space for election officials to accept the form, a space to list the registrant’s “ward and aldermanic district,” an area to specify how election officials received the form and a space to record the serial number on the registrant’s voter identification card.
Before filing the lawsuit, Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty attorney Anthony LoCoco asked the Elections Commission to provide information about the form. He requested an explanation in July for why the commission used the form, saying it wasn’t required and violated state law. Absent a “legally sufficient explanation” for why the commission used the form or the withdrawal of its use, LoCoco said he would commence legal action.
The commission didn’t respond substantively until Wednesday, according to the lawsuit, and the response didn’t answer LoCoco’s questions, including when the agency approved the form.
A commission attorney responding to LoCoco said Wednesday that the form has been accepted since at least 2000 and that the Government Accountability Board — the commission’s predecessor — discussed the form in 2008.
“The email acknowledged that this information was not directly responsive to WILL’s request,” LoCoco said.
Guess what I received in the mail yesterday from 'The Voter Participation Center?
Yep. The very form that is illegal, asking me to submit an application for an absentee ballot! It is already filled out with my name, address, info on where I vote in person and a letter telling me that I don't even have to go vote if I ask for an absentee ballot - just fill out the form (printed by the Wisconsin Elections Commission out of Madistan!) and there's even a postage-paid envelope addressed directly to my Town Clerk.
How CONVENIENT! How ILLEGAL! These b@stard leftists are pulling out all the stops to stuff the Ballot Box any way they can!
Looks like Ballot Harvesting to me! There's no place on the form asking if I've been charged as a felon, or am ineligible to vote for any other reason!
Are they pre voted like the ones most probably run thru the late night unsupervised dominion voting machines in their panic come from behind coup of election over the real winner Donald J Trump, President of the United States
We already knew that the Wisconsin Elections Commission was a corrupt lawless entity that exists for the purposes of committing vote fraud. This was outed by the Sheriffs investigation on the illegal voting at nursing homes during the 2020 election. This Commission put out orders that encouraged that and completely contradicted the law. Those on the commission that were involved in that should be sitting in prison.
OH MY
What will you do? How infuriating!
I meet the eligibility requirements of my state and subscribe to any oath required.
Well, well... isn’t this interesting. Cheating again in the wide open. Thank you VOS you knucklehead for NOT standing up to voter fraud in 2020. I also think he cheated to keep his seat in the primary?
We need to get out IN PERSON to vote, as many RED voters as possibly. This is serious stuff and we the people CAN take this country back.
I’m contacting my local pals in Conservative Radio, for starters.
Diana-—KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!!!!
Will do! :)
It figures. The democrats want felons to vote because they know almost all of them will vote for democrats. They’re using an ‘all of the above’ method to destroy our elections. Every possible dirty trick will be employed to keep they’re filthy, corrupt asses in office.
Yep. It’s not just Wisconsin. You can pretty much vote in any state you want to with all of the free, downloadable ballots!
Grrrr!
Good job Lady!
They did that in ‘18 & ‘20. And it’s legal in many states.
Huge part of the fraud.
The 2020 election was stolen. Why else would the Democrat and RINOs insist that no entity can question the results?
