The grassroots group’s challenges to the registrations were unsuccessful because the city election commission declined to investigate them.
Nearly 5,000 allegedly illegal voter registrations on Milwaukee voter rolls have been found by an election integrity watchdog ahead of the Wisconsin elections on Tuesday.
With the high-profile elections for the Wisconsin Supreme Court and enshrining voter ID in the state constitution just days away, Fair Elections Wisconsin (FEW) challenged 4,878 allegedly illegal voter registrations that had cast ballots in the November election in Milwaukee. The grassroots group’s challenges were unsuccessful, however, as the city election commission declined to investigate them.
FEW President Justin Gavery on Wednesday submitted a list of 4,878 allegedly illegal voter registrations to the Milwaukee Election Commission. Ballots were cast in the November election for all 4,878 of these voter registrations.
According to Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) data and United States Postal Service’s National Change of Address data reviewed by FEW, there are 281 voters who moved out of the county before October 24th, 2024, and 377 who moved out of state before that date.
On the commission’s website, it states that people registering to vote must include their complete and current full name and residential address.
5,000. Is that all?
