RILEY VETTERKIND
The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Friday ruled the state does not need to purge from the voter rolls about 70,000 people identified in 2019 as potentially having moved â a win for Democrats who vigorously opposed the move pushed by Republicans.
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.
