The Wisconsin Supreme Court sided with Democrats on Friday and ruled that the state elections commission should not remove from the rolls voters flagged as possibly having moved, something conservatives have wanted to be done for nearly two years.
There is also a federal law that requires states to clean up their voter rolls periodically. Democrats hate that law because they can no longer use their names when they manufacture votes.
In order to restore order, the Republican legislature would need to craft new laws to bypass the court. But the governor is a Democrat and he could just veto the bill when it hits his desk.
The controversial voter rolls case has worked its way through the court system since late 2019, with the Supreme Court deciding to take it up in June.
The court ruled 5-2 to side with a court of appeals decision to not require that the Wisconsin Elections Commission remove the voters from the rolls. Conservative Justices Brian Hagedorn and Patience Roggensack, and liberal Justices Ann Walsh Bradley, Rebecca Dallet and Jill Karofsky joined to form a majority.
The good news is Gov Evers is very unpopular now and is likely to be defeated in 2022. So, they could clean up their rolls before the 2024 presidential election.
