WILL Sues WEC Over Illegal Use of Voter Registration Form

WILL filed a lawsuit against the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) on behalf of Rick Braun, a registered Wisconsin voter and taxpayer, in regards to the illegal use of the National Mail Voter Registration Form.

🗯 WILL Deputy Counsel, Anthony LoCoco, said, “Wisconsin law is abundantly clear on the required content of voter registration forms in Wisconsin, yet WEC has somehow approved the use of a form that fails to meet those requirements. It is a shame that, once again, a voter has to go to court simply to ensure that WEC follows the Legislature’s lawful commands.”

📰 Read articles from the Associated Press, the Wisconsin State Journal, and The Center Square about WILL's recent lawsuit.
