(WRN) -A conservative think tank wants a judge to hold the Wisconsin Elections Commission in contempt for not moving quickly enough to purge voters from the rolls.The Commission was ordered last month by a judge to pull 230 thousand people from the election rolls after they failed to respond to a mailer. But the commission was deadlocked along party lines this week on how to follow that order. The Wisconsin Institute For Law and Liberty wants the state to fine the Commission 12-thousand dollars a day for contempt, even as the suit works its way through the courts.
WILL filed the original lawsuit in state court, but the League of Women's Voters has filed a federal suit to prevent the action.
