Wisconsin Judge Orders 200K Removed from Voter Rolls

[RandySF]

PORT WASHINGTON - An Ozaukee County judge found the state Elections Commission and three of its members in contempt of court Monday, saying they had flouted his December order to remove thousands of people from Wisconsin's voter rolls.

"I can’t be any clearer than this," Judge Paul Malloy said. "They need to follow my order."

He said the commission must pay $50 a day until it starts taking people off the rolls. In addition, he's charging the three Democrats on the commission who have fought taking people off the rolls — Ann Jacobs, Julie Glancey and Mark Thomsen — $250 a day each.

Jacobs said she believes Malloy's initial findings were incorrect and she does not want to begin taking people off the rolls even though she's been found in contempt of court.

"If we are going to treat voting as the central component of our democracy, we need to be far less cavalier about taking people off the rolls," she said.

3. I wonder whether some of that $250 million McTurd approved for election "security" factored into

this decision.

K&R for exposure

4. A county judge making a statewide decision. The guess here is this gets appealed. nt
