Wisconsin court overturns ruling ordering voter purge

A Wisconsin appeals court on Friday overturned a ruling that ordered the removal of up to 209,000 people from the state’s voter rolls, handing Democrats a victory in a case they said was intended to make it more difficult for their voters to cast ballots in November.

The conservative group that brought the case immediately said it would appeal to the state Supreme Court.

The appeals court last month put the ruling, and the purge, on hold while it considered the case. The 4th District Court of Appeals ruling overturned the decision of an Ozaukee County judge who had initially ruled in favor of a conservative law firm that was seeking the purge.

The appeals court also vacated an order from that same judge that found the state Elections Commission in contempt for not moving forward with the purge.

The appeals court sent the case back to the lower court and ordered that it be dismissed.

The case has received a lot of attention because Wisconsin is among a group of swing states being targeted by Democrats and President Donald Trump this year. Trump won Wisconsin in 2016 by fewer than 23,000 votes, putting even more of a focus on every voter in the state.

Just wonder if my name is still on the voting rolls as i no longer live in Wisconsin. How many are no longer residents or alive yet?

Will the “dead vote” hand the Rat nominee Wisconsin in November?

For those that do not know - the names are duplicates and even if someone were removed in error, they can register and vote next election.

This is just a democrat scheme to vote those names multiple times.

209,000 fraudulent votes should be enough to carry the state for Bernie.

If the elections commission has assumed oversight of the voter rolls, then the law and the court are both asses.

It appears to be a case where the commission forbids the county clerks from acting while declaiming the commission cannot act.
