200K will be removed from the rolls. Remember they when Trump wins the state again by 20K voters.
The broader story here is how the state GOP has taken control over the election processes and is using that control for partisan advantage 2/
Up until 2015 WI had a nonpartisan election board. They got too interested in how Scott Walker was raising in campaign money. State GOP disbanded the agency and later fired anyone who held senior positions in the agency. 3/ wpr.org/assembly-commi… apnews.com/d3f759f8fb9f47…
See this earlier thread on how the WI GOP have used other tools to limit democracy, including sone extraordinary gerrymandering, voter IDs and restricting early voting 4/
The voter purge case comes from a conservative dark money group with ties to the state GOP. Today a GOP-appointed judge rejected waiting for an appeal before removing voters. Dem members of the state election commission are fined $250 per day. GOP members are not 5/ 
The appeal would have gone to State Supreme Court, which again is an extension of the state GOP. No-one doubts the outcome, but the judge today wants to make sure the purge takes place before the 2020 election. 6/ google.com/amp/s/madison.…
One more measure of the incestuous nature of GOP involvement in this issue: a GOP appointee to the state election commission was an explicit cheerleader of the voter purge 7/

Appeal court has blocked the purge and the fines for now. Case likely not decided until after Apr primary. State Supreme Ct may get involved after that, but unclear if there will be enough time to purge before Nov election. 10/ via @patrickdmarley jsonline.com/story/news/pol…
