Even if the number of voters who didn't move but are tossed from the rolls is small, Democrats fear the impact on thecould be huge. President Donald Trump carried the state by fewer than 23,000 votes in 2016. The Wisconsin Elections Commission, which has an equal number of Republicans and Democrats, debated a GOP-offered motion Monday that would have required the purge to happen within seven days of the judge entering his order. It died, on a party-line 3-3 vote, with Democrats arguing it made no sense to immediately purge the voters given that appeals were likely.
Democrats on the elections commission said it was cavalier and political grandstanding to try and force the purge to happen within a week of that order given the expected appeals. But Republican Commissioner Bob Spindell said it was an “outrage” to keep more than 200,000 people on the rolls who shouldn't be there.
