Citizenship verification at odds with Wisconsin's same-day voter registration, county clerk says
The Dane County Clerk said a court ruling ordering the state to verify the U.S. citizenship of all Wisconsin voters conflicts with current state election law.
On Friday, a Waukesha County judge ruled in favor of a Pewaukee resident who claims the state is violating their rights by not verifying the citizenship of millions of registered voters in Wisconsin.
The ruling would have the state Department of Transportation assist the verification process by comparing its citizenship information with voter rolls. The judge later stayed part of the ruling, meaning for the moment, people in Wisconsin can still register to vote.
Dane County Clerk Scott McDonell told WPR’s “Wisconsin Today,” that the process would be incompatible with same-day voter registration in Wisconsin.
