Wisconsin judge orders commission to purge up to 209,000 names from voter rolls

"Vote Fraud B Us: Dems"
[FoxNews] A Wisconsin judge on Monday found the state's Elections Commission and three of its members in contempt of court and ordered the commission to remove up to 209,000 names from the state's voter rolls, in a case that could have major implications later this year in a key battleground state.
Saying in his ruling that "time is of the essence," Judge Paul Malloy said that there is no time to wait for the case to make its way to the Wisconsin Supreme Court and ordered that the state pay $50 a day until it starts removing people from the voter rolls.
Malloy also ordered that the three Democrats on the commission ‐ Ann Jacobs, Julie Glancy and Mark Thomsen ‐ pay $250 a day each. The state Justice Department asked Malloy to stay his order of contempt pending an appeal of his ruling, but the judge denied the request.
"I can't be any clearer than this," Malloy said, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "They need to follow my order."
The case is being closely tracked on a national level, as Wisconsin is one of the most politically prized states up for grabs in this year's presidential election. President Trump won the state by fewer than 23,000 votes in 2016, becoming the first Republican to win Wisconsin since 1984, after Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton infamously failed to campaign in the state. Democrats are trying to remedy their loss this election season by holding the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee this summer and aggressively targeting voters in the Badger State.
State Democrats in Wisconsin are fighting the lawsuit, saying the purge would unfairly affect their voters. Republicans, however, argue that they merely want to ensure that people who have moved are not able to vote from their old addresses.
