A conservative law firm has asked a judge to find the Wisconsin Elections Commission in contempt and impose $12,000 a day in fines until it purges more than 200,000 voters from the rolls.
"Court orders are not suggestions," Esenberg said on WISN-AM."They are not rendered inoperative by the fact that you filed an appeal."
Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul, who is representing the Elections Commission, said it"strongly disagrees" with arguments in the contempt motion. The affected voters come more heavily from Democratic areas of Wisconsin, a key state in the presidential election. President Donald Trump narrowly won Wisconsin in 2016, by fewer than 23,000 votes, and it's expected to be one of the most hotly contested states again this year.Democrats fear that forcing voters whose registrations were nullified to re-register would create a burden on them and hurt turnout.
