The #Georgia ruling against Fair Fight in its suit to restore 100K GA voters to the rolls comes on the heels of a devastating ruling by a #Wisconsin court that orders the state to purge 234K voters even though the state has declared the purge list faulty gregpalast.com/hunting-season…
On December 13, Wisconsin Ozaukee County judge Paul Malloy ordered the state elections board to remove 234,000 voters from the rolls on the petition of a right-wing group, despite the board determining that the purge would remove legal voters. jsonline.com/story/news/pol…
The precedent is astonishing. It's the first time a state's been ordered to remove citizens en masse. In 2018, SCOTUS allowed states to remove voters on evidence they’d moved. But no state has been forced to remove voters—especially in light of evidence that the lists are faulty.
The #Wisconsin lists are more than faulty: our expert review of the method used, which is the same as Georgia’s #PurgeByPostcard, is no less than than 70% wrong—and especially biased against voters who move within a county, i.e. disproportionately young, poor and voters of color.
The Palast Fund is preparing to review the Wisconsin purge list name by name to prove what we have seen in other states—that the lists are almost entirely false, wrongly eliminating voters for moving from the state who are in fact still in their WI homes. gregpalast.com/hunting-season…
But while we have terrific pro-bono help, this requires funding we don’t yet have. And with similar purge-by-postcard operations moving into an estimated 20 states, we need to perform the same investigation and expert dive into each state’s purge list. gregpalast.com/hunting-season…
So, I’m asking, as 2019 turns into Battlefield 2020, will you help us to take on every purge-poisoned state?
