Screw you Wisconsin!

O On Tuesday, the Wisconsin Supreme Court may choose our president. That is, justices will hear arguments in a lawsuit that would force the state to remove 129,000 people from the voter rolls on grounds they’d moved from their registration addresses.

But a report by the nation’s top experts in address verification, including the official licensee of the U.S. Postal Service, says that at least 39,722 “movers” did not move.

Worse, the hit list is not only disastrously wrong, it is suspiciously over-weighted with African Americans.

there is same-day registration. But yeah, I expect the Republicans on the State Supreme Court to be okay with the purge. MAYBE they will say the 25% of voters that Palast's investigation verified as not having moved should be removed from the purge list, but I wouldn't even count on that.
