A right-wing lawsuit triggered a 200,000-voter purge in Wisconsin yesterday. But we still have same-day registration in this state. So now our job is to organize harder than they can suppress.

Nobody should be surprised that the Wisconsin voter purges disproportionately affect young people and people of color. Why do you think Scott Walker and the GOP passed the voter-purge law in the first place?

The Wisconsin voter purge is bad. But it's a reason to work, not a reason to panic. After similar purges before the 2018 election, we were able to obtain the list of voters (most folks had legitimately moved), reach out & connect, same-day register folks, & win statewide in Nov.

Our plan to deal with the WI voter purge:

- get the list
- reach out & help folks re-register
- make sure Dems vote in Apr 7 WI Sup Court race
- repeat in fall 2020
... in short: don't panic. Organize.
