Swing-state Wisconsin removes 205,000 voters from the rolls
2021-08-11
From a week ago, but heartening to those who care about clean votes. This will make it harder for the Democrats to cheat next year.
[WashingtonTimes] Wisconsin elections officials said Wednesday that they have removed more than 205,000 voters from the rolls as part of routine work to keep the state’s registration lists up to date.

Purging voters from the rolls has been a point of major contention in the perennial swing state. Conservatives filed a lawsuit in 2020 demanding that the Wisconsin Elections Commission remove voters from the rolls if they didn’t respond to mailings within 30 days. The lawsuit ultimately failed and Democrat Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. An incredibly corrupt version of Jar-Jar Binks, only well into his dotage...
 went on to beat Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
 by about 20,000 votes.

Commission officials announced Wednesday that they deactivated 174,307 voter registrations on Saturday because the voters hadn’t cast a ballot in four years and didn’t respond to a mailing. They said they are required by law every two years to identify registered voters who haven’t voted in the previous four years and deactivate them unless they wish to remain registered.

The commission on Saturday also deactivated 31,854 registrations of voters who may have moved and didn’t respond to a mailing. The commission mailed postcards during the summer of 2019 to more than 230,000 voters identified by the Electronic Registration Information Center as having possibly moved.

The commission voted that summer not to deactivate them until after the April 2021 election to give them several chances to affirm they hadn’t moved. That stance prompted a lawsuit from a conservative law firm, the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, demanding the commission remove those voters within 30 days if they didn’t respond to the mailing. The state Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
 ultimately ruled that the commission wasn’t required to remove voters within that window.

Voters who were removed from the rolls can become eligible to cast ballots again by re-registering. People can check their registration status through the MyVote Wisconsin website at https://myvote.wi.gov or by contacting their municipal clerk.

#10  Yes. Make the invalid gather in an approved location 1 month prior to any election to vote, If that's too hard, they are on their way out and don't need to vote.

#9  ...its organized enough, that someone claiming to be the dead person votes either on the day of election. It's one form of busing that Donks support.

#7  With a few exceptions, I suspect everyone should be required to appear in person at his or her designated polling place. No guarantees, but this method should substantially reduce the number of dead people attempting to vote.

#6  #4 Agreed. Each state has some agency that deals with death records; in some places it is an agency such as a health department, vital statistics or the secretary of state.

It should not be that difficult to cull out the voting rolls by matching up death records with voting records. The Social Security Death Master File was started in 1962. It would seem that file could also be checked against voter registrations.

#5  As for people who have moved, PeeAye hopefully (greedily, stupidly) send tax document to my new Florida address for two years after I moved. Wouldn't have been hard in this modern age to find that I sold my property in PeeAye and didn't buy another. Of course, a hopeful tax collector could probably come up with more scenarios than the Warren Commission that involved me still being taxable my the commontheft of PeeAye.

#4  It's basically absurd that any dead person ever remains on voter rolls. A death certificate must be issued. Every one I handle shows state of residence and county where death occurred. All this stuff is in the same courthouse and as of the last ten years or so, in a computerized database. It's political convenience that keeps voter rolls polluted with bad data. Nothing else.

#1  ...Wondering if it would be impolite of me to point out that FICUS' margin of victory in WI was just 20,682 votes.
