Nearly 5,000 Suspect Voter Registrations Discovered Ahead of Critical WI Supreme Court Election

"The City of Milwaukee refuses to investigate the voter roll discrepancies and take action ahead of the crucial election.

A grassroots election integrity group says it found nearly 5,000 questionable voter registrations still on Milwaukee’s rolls—just days before Wisconsin voters head to the polls in a pivotal election.

But the city’s election commission refuses to investigate, raising serious concerns about election security and accountability.

Fair Elections Wisconsin (FEW) submitted a formal challenge to 4,878 allegedly illegal voter registrations used to cast ballots in last November’s election.

The Milwaukee Election Commission dismissed the challenge after a closed-door session, choosing not to act on evidence pointing to inaccurate, outdated, or improper registrations.

Among the findings:

• 281 registrants had moved out of Milwaukee County, and 377 had moved out of state before the October 24th deadline.

• 2,926 addresses had missing or incorrect apartment or unit numbers.

• 501 addresses were changed to P.O. boxes, and 24 used commercial addresses, including UPS and FedEx locations—something state law prohibits.

• 11 used U.S. Post Office addresses, which are also ineligible.

FEW called for specific action: refer unlawful registrations for prosecution, mail verification postcards, and mark questionable registrations as “Inactive.” But the commission declined to even begin an investigation.

“We had them cornered,” FEW President Justin Gavery told Just the News. “They only went into closed session once we brought up that these registrants had already voted.”

After a brief delay, the commission returned and simply said the challenges were rejected. When Gavery asked if they were interested in investigating possible voter fraud, he says the response was: “Meeting adjourned.”

Importantly, FEW did not filter the data by party affiliation. “This isn’t about Republicans or Democrats—it’s about cleaning up the voter rolls,” Gavery said.

What’s at stake? A lot.

Wisconsin voters will decide on April 1 whether to enshrine voter ID in the state constitution. State law already requires ID to vote, but the amendment would help shield the rule from future court challenges—especially from a left-leaning state Supreme Court. Conservatives worry that without constitutional protection, a liberal majority could strike down voter ID.

In the same election, Judge Brad Schimel—backed by Republicans—is running to reclaim a conservative majority on the state’s high court. His opponent, Judge Susan Crawford, is supported by national Democratic donors, including George Soros and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker.

So far, Crawford has raised more than $25 million, while Schimel has raised over $12 million, including significant support from Elon Musk and the Wisconsin GOP.

Early voting is already running 48% higher than in the last state Supreme Court race, with more than 345,000 ballots already returned.

Milwaukee County, where the questionable registrations are concentrated, went overwhelmingly for Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election (68.3% to Trump’s 29.8%). Wisconsin as a whole was narrowly won by Trump, 49.7% to 48.9%.

With razor-thin margins and millions being spent, election integrity advocates argue that cleaning up the voter rolls is not optional—it’s essential.

The timing of the voter registration findings coincides with a new executive order from President Trump that aims to tighten federal enforcement of election law, including a requirement for states to verify citizenship and ban mail-in ballots received after Election Day.

Bottom line: Nearly 5,000 questionable registrations were flagged in a key swing county. The city refused to act. And on Tuesday, Wisconsin voters head to the polls—with those names still on the rolls.
