Wisconsin

All Voting Wisconsin helped support the Wisconsin Elections Commission’s refusal to turn over voter rolls containing personally identifiable information to the Department of Justice. The team kept partners informed and connected legal organizations interested in potential litigation. Compliance with the DOJ request would have undermined voter privacy and disproportionately affected naturalized voters and recent movers, and could have seriously eroded voter trust. Team Wisconsin played a key role by tracking the issue, communicating with partners, and connecting legal teams with impacted voters to support investigations and next steps. To date, Wisconsin voters remain protected as the state has refused to hand over their information to the federal government. 

The Wisconsin team has worked for years to champion the use of Badger Books, the state’s electronic poll book system, which reduces wait times at polling locations and speeds up the same-day voter registration process. These efforts culminated in the city of Madison successfully testing Badger Books during a special election in June of 2025, demonstrating that the poll books could be reliably rolled out for future elections.
