A grassroots group found almost 5,000 questionable voter registrations in Milwaukee just days before an important election in Wisconsin. Despite the findings, the local election commission opted not to investigate the discrepancies.
• Fair Elections Wisconsin (FEW) identified 4,878 potentially illegal voter registrations that had been used in the previous election.
• The Milwaukee Election Commission dismissed a formal challenge by FEW, ignoring evidence of improper registrations.
• Key issues included:
• 281 registrants had moved out of the county.
• 377 registrants had moved out of state before the registration deadline.
• 2,926 addresses lacked proper apartment or unit numbers.
• 501 addresses were registered as P. O. boxes, which is illegal.
• 24 registrations used commercial addresses like UPS and FedEx.
• 11 used U. S. Post Office addresses, also ineligible.
• FEW requested action, including prosecution for unlawful registrations and marking questionable ones as "Inactive," but the commission refused to investigate.
• The election on April 1 includes a vote on enshrining photo ID requirements in the state constitution and a closely watched race for the state Supreme Court.
With nearly 5,000 suspect registrations still on the rolls, the refusal of Milwaukee officials to act raises significant concerns about election integrity as Wisconsin voters prepare to make critical decisions at the polls.
