A legal complaint filed by a conservative law firm in Wisconsin is arguing that the state should remove 234,000 voters from the state's voter rolls because they may have moved recently
The complaint, filed Tuesday by the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty against members of the Wisconsin Elections Commission, says state law requires the commission to remove from the active voting rolls voters who don't respond to a recent mailing, made as part of a regular effort to update voter rolls, within 30 days.The commission, however, says it's allowing voters to stay on the rolls through the spring of 2021, based on a June vote by the commission.
In her statement, Wolfe said the commission sent out the mailing based on"lessons learned" from its 2017 mailing to update the voter rolls, with an eye toward making the process more"user-friendly."One of those changes is that voters who get the mailing this year won't be automatically taken off the state's active voter list if they don't respond within a month.They'll stay on the list through the April 2021 election.
