Judge finds Wisconsin elections commissioners in contempt of court, orders them to quickly remove people from the rolls
PORT WASHINGTON - An Ozaukee County judge found the state Elections Commission and three of its members in contempt of court Monday, saying they had flouted his December order to remove thousands of people from Wisconsin's voter rolls.
"I can’t be any clearer than this," Judge Paul Malloy said. "They need to follow my order."
He said he would fine the commission $50 a day and the commissioners $250 a day each until they take people off the rolls.
Attorneys for the state Elections Commission argued no one should be fined because they have appealed the decision and are awaiting rulings from higher courts. Those who brought the lawsuit over the voter rolls contended the decision was clear and the commission and its members should be fined until they purge the voter rolls.
At issue is the voting status of more than 200,000 people in one of the most politically prized states in the 2020 presidential election. Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in 2016 by fewer than 23,000 votes, becoming the first Republican to take the state's electoral votes since 1984.
