By Scott BauerMADISON, Wis. (AP) Democrats in the key swing state of Wisconsin vowed Monday to double down on efforts to ensure that any voters whose registrations are nullified by a judge's recent ruling will be able to register again before the 2020 presidential election.
Legal appeals could delay for months the judge's order Friday to immediately purge more than 200,000 voters who didn't respond within 30 days to letters seeking to confirm their addresses. The case is expected to go all the way to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which is controlled 5-2 by conservatives.
The Wisconsin Democratic Party will use the state open records law to obtain the names of everyone who is purged and then target its efforts to systematically contact those most likely to be Democrats so they can re-register, said state party chairman Ben Wikler. Voters do not register by political party in Wisconsin.
This is an organizing challenge, not a crisis, Wikler said. He said purging the voters just adds to our to-do list. Its a reason to work, not to freak out.

The pattern of the GOP - Documents that can take your rights away look like junk mail and documents that look official are actually GOP fund raising letters (see "survey" request for funds disguised as a mailing that looks like the US Census.

(4,381 posts)I was allegedly questioned about being purged from my county's roll in Ohio for not verifying some sort of "polling place location" card. Found out when I went to vote where I was forced to vote by provisional ballot. Also happened to another long-time- at-the-same-address guy in my precinct line. Of course, our local PO also has long-standing trouble delivering mail in our precinct so...(GOP activities on both counts?)
