(AP) -Democrats in the key swing state of Wisconsin vowed Monday to redouble efforts to ensure that any voters whose registrations have been nullified by a judge’s recent ruling will be able to register again before the 2020 presidential election.Legal appeals could delay for months enforcement of the judge’s order to purge more than 200,000 voters who didn’t respond within 30 days to letters seeking confirmation of their addresses. The case is expected to go all the way to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which is controlled 5-2 by conservatives.
The Wisconsin Democratic Party will use the state’s open records law to obtain the names of everyone who would be purged and “systematically” contact those most likely to be Democrats so they can re-register, said state party chairman Ben Wikler. Voters do not register by political party in Wisconsin.
