Wisc. Judge Orders Up to 209K Voter Names Deleted
A Wisconsin judge on Monday found the state's bipartisan elections commission to be in contempt and ordered it to immediately begin removing up to 209,000 names from the state's voter rolls or face fines for each day it doesn't.
Judge Paul Malloy said in his ruling that �time is of the essence in this case" and cannot wait for an Appeals Court or the state Supreme Court to decide the case. He also seemed peeved that commissioners hadn't already begun purging the voter names.
"I cannot be clearer on this. They need to follow the order,� Malloy said.
The state Justice Department asked Malloy to stay his order of contempt pending an appeal of his ruling, but the judge denied the request.
