Wisconsin Voters flagged for deletion still live where list says they don't

When Warren Walker registered to vote two years ago, he had no idea he would wind up in the middle of a fight over voting rights.

He registered to vote in 2018 and cast his first ballot ever in the race for Wisconsin governor.

"It means being a part of something. It means being able to go with family members to the polls,” Walker said on the front steps of his home on Milwaukee’s north side.

Less than two years later, his voter registration is caught up in a lawsuit against the Wisconsin Elections Commission brought by conservative activists.

Attorneys who brought the suit say it’s designed to keep the voter rolls “clean.”

Walker suspects it’s an attempt to keep people like him from casting a ballot.

"It's like being penalized for nothing,” Walker said.
