More than 200,000 voters who were set to be purged from Wisconsin's rolls will instead remain for the time being after the Wisconsin Court of Appeals issued a hold on a previous order that said the voters were invalid because they may have moved recently
Last month, a county judge instructed the Wisconsin Elections Commission to remove the voters, ruling in favor of a conservative law firm that argued the state was obligated to remove those who hadn't responded to a recent mailing from active voting rolls as a way of keeping records updated.Tuesday's hold will allow the voters to remain on the rolls until the court of appeals can formally hear the case at a later date.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission isn't following state law and we look forward to making that case in the court of appeals," said Rick Esenberg, the president and general counsel of the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, which filed the challenge.
