As of April 2nd, 2026, the State of Wisconsin is one of 30 states, along with the District of Columbia, being sued by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for not turning over its voter registration list for inspection as required by the Civil Rights Act of 1960. The Civil Rights Act gives the U.S. Attorney General the authority to demand and inspect statewide voter registration lists for improper registrations.
“The Justice Department will continue to fulfill its oversight dutifully, neutrally, and transparently wherever Americans vote in federal elections,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “Many state election officials, however, are choosing to fight us in court rather than show their work. We will continue to verify that all States are carrying out critical election integrity legal duties.”
As extensively reported by On Wisconsin Outdoors (OWO), the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) maintains a statewide voter registration list that includes more than 8.2 million total names in a state with only 4.6 million voting aged citizens. When the DOJ inspects Wisconsin’s list, it will find more than 4 million ineligible voter names on it.
The 4 million ineligible names are what the WEC is trying to hide from the DOJ and Wisconsin’s citizens. It’s clear that the WEC has not been maintaining the state voter registration list properly, and their actions have violated the civil rights and denied the will of Wisconsin’s voters. Because of the WEC’s own corrupt behavior you should expect, and welcome, federal oversight of Wisconsin’s midterm elections in November.
