Today, the Wisconsin Supreme Court will hear a suit brought by a right-wing think tank demanding the state purge 129,000 voters — who mostly reside in urban areas — using a “movers” list we proved was error-ridden in a report we submitted to the state.
We found 39,722 Wisconsin voters who supposedly moved, had in fact not moved, a minimum 25.8% error rate.
A further 58,404 or 38% who had moved, had only done so within their county.
If even half of these moved locally, the error rate rises to 45.8%.

Who’s on the #WisconsinPurge list? There's bias against voters of color and low-income voters, and evidence of bias against young and student voters — like Phyo Zin Kyaw, a Madison College student who moved to new digs "two houses down”.
"The information, as provided, was not reliable.” — Ann Jacobs, Wisconsin Elections Commission Chair on the #WisconsinPurge list. #SaveMyVote2020 gregpalast.com/report-wiscons…
It’s not the State of Wisconsin that's demanding voters be removed from the rolls using the error-ridden purge list.
It’s a right-wing group that’s trying to force the State's hand with a lawsuit that goes before the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday.

"I think it's crystal clear that the intent of this lawsuit was to remove voters from the voting rolls, and particularly voters in urban centers...as an attempt to gain an advantage in Wisconsin for the Republican races." — Ann Jacobs, Elections Commission Chair

In 2016, Trump won #Wisconsin by a mere 22,000 votes. Now a conservative group is trying to purge 129,000 voters on the grounds they've moved. But more than 25% haven't moved at all and 38% have moved within county, so shouldn't be purged under the NVRA. gregpalast.com/report-wiscons…
Will voters decide who wins #Wisconsin, or will it be decided by an ethnic cleansing of the voter roles? gregpalast.com/report-wiscons…
Most #Wisconsin voters whose right to vote is under threat will have no idea they're on a purge list, so we've created a website to allow people to look up their names and addresses to see if they're on the list.
