WILL Calls on DOJ to Investigate Over 41,000 Wisconsin Voter Mismatches

In a new letter to the USDOJ, and following WILL's investigation, we identified additional serious concerns regarding the Wisconsin Election Commission's maintenance of Wisconsin’s statewide voter registration list.

Our findings show that over 41,000 voter registration records cannot be reconciled with the data maintained by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT).

Data obtained by WILL not only shows the number of current voter registration records that do not match DOT information, but it shows this problem has only worsened since 2021. Right now, the number of records where the voter's name does not match DOT information has surged, rising from 15,260 in 2021 to 24,733 today. Registrations with no record of a drivers license number have more than doubled, increasing from 4,885 in 2021 to 11,174.

While these mismatches do not necessarily indicate widespread voter fraud, the issues are far too extensive for WEC to continue to ignore.

WILL Deputy Counsel, Lucas Vebber, stated, “WEC’s response to questions from the DOJ, Wisconsin Legislature, and WILL have been inadequate. Now, we have discovered that over 11,000 voter registrations have no matching driver’s license number in DOT records, a number that has doubled since 2020. That should sound alarm bells, but WEC continues to ignore the issue. WILL remains committed to exploring this critical election security issue.”

WILL Helps Mom Beat Defamation Lawsuit

This week, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals ruled in favor of WILL’s client, Scarlett Johnson, a Wisconsin Moms for Liberty activist sued for defamation for criticizing her school district.

The initial lawsuit involved a defamation claim for run-of-the-mill social media posts on X and Facebook. In her posts, Ms. Johnson criticized her school district for having a “social justice coordinator,” and described people who hold such positions as “woke,” “white savior[s]” and “bullies.” Statements of opinion like these are pervasive on social media. Nevertheless, the Plaintiff, who previously held the position, chose to respond with a defamation lawsuit, and the court allowed the claims to go to trial. 

That is when WILL stepped in to defend Ms. Johnson's constitutional First Amendment rights. Watch Ms. Johnson's story HERE.

WILL Client, Scarlett Johnson, stated, “Free speech belongs to every mom, dad, and citizen who demands answers and accountability from their government. I am grateful that WILL stood alongside me in this legal battle. Parents across the country are speaking out against radical ideology in our schools, and our fight does not stop today.”

WILL Testifies to Curb Governor's Veto Power

Today, WILL Research Director Kyle Koenen testified before the State Senate Committee on Government Operations, Labor and Economic Development in favor of SJR 11, a resolution that would limit the governor's partial veto power.

The resolution aims to restore the balance of power between the legislative and executive branches. Recently, this power was highlighted when Governor Evers used a "digit-veto" to lock in property tax hikes for the next 400 years. SJR 11 would prevent a governor from rewriting laws or altering the legislature's intent through creative vetoes.
