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”.
We interviewed, on-camera, Wisconsin Election Commissioners and other officials as well as Rick Esenberg, the CEO of the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, the group that has brought the lawsuit to enforce the voter scrub.
But I was curious, who's paying Esenberg and the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty to get rid of all these voters in Milwaukee and Madison?
Ahead of today's WI Supreme Court hearing, we gave the State of Wisconsin our report on the purge list errors.

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