NEW REPORT: Wisconsin “Movers” Voter Purge List Errors — 39,722 Face Loss of Vote for Moving Despite not Having Moved gregpalast.com/report-wiscons…

#WisconsinPurge Summary:

▶️ 39,722 Wisconsin voters who supposedly moved from their registration addresses had in fact not moved — a minimum 25.8% error rate based on the 153,779 “movers” list.

▶️ A further 58,404 or 38% who had moved, had only done so within their county.

#WisconsinPurge: As illustrated by these maps and graphs, there is measurable bias against voters of color and low-income voters, and evidence of bias against young and student voters. gregpalast.com/report-wiscons…

Our team reached out to 700 voters on the #WisconsinPurge list and filmed several swearing they did not move or that they'd moved locally, like Phyo Zin Kyaw, a Madison College student who moved to new digs "two houses down". gregpalast.com/wp-content/upl…

How could the #ERIC system produce a list of “moved” voters that is so extraordinarily wrong? The explanation, according to our experts, is that the state sent out address confirmation cards without first applying Address List Hygiene methods. gregpalast.com/wp-content/upl…

Most #Wisconsin voters whose right to vote is in jeopardy will have no idea that they're on the state's purge list, so we've created a website to allow voters to see if they're on the list: savemyvote2020.org/wisconsin-vote…
