The fight over verifying the citizenship status of voters in battleground Wisconsin comes as President Donald Trump鈥檚 Department of Justice has from at least 19 states, including Wisconsin. Trump鈥檚 Justice Department is to crack down on voter fraud and noncitizen voting, both of which are but have been the subject of years of false claims from .

The Wisconsin lawsuit was filed in August 2024 in the lead-up to the November presidential election by two suburban Milwaukee voters, including a longtime critic of how elections are run in the state.

They sought a court order requiring the Wisconsin Elections Commission and state Department of Transportation to verify the citizenship of all applicants registering to vote. They argued that the state elections commission is failing to investigate unlawful voter registrations and not taking steps to ensure that noncitizens are not voting.

The state justice department argued that there is no requirement or duty under Wisconsin law for the elections commission and transportation department to share and match data to remove non-citizens from the statewide voter list.

Wisconsin law requires voters to certify that they are U.S. citizens but does not require election officials to obtain proof or require voters to present any.

Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Maxwell ruled on Friday that the elections commission is 鈥渧iolating state and federal statutes by maintaining an election system that potentially allows individuals on to the voter rolls who may not be lawfully entitled to cast a vote in Wisconsin.鈥�

The Wisconsin Elections Commission 鈥渋s failing in the most basic task of ensuring that only lawful voters make it to the voter roll from where lawful votes are cast,鈥� the judge ruled.

He ordered the elections commission to review the voter rolls before the Feb. 18 spring primary election to determine if anyone who is not a U.S. citizen is registered to vote. He also prohibited accepting any new voter registration request 鈥渨ithout verification that the applicant is a U.S. citizen.鈥�

Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, a Democrat who is considering running for governor, argued Monday that the court鈥檚 order would 鈥渞equire a massive overhaul of Wisconsin鈥檚 voter registration system and the creation of new verification requirements not otherwise provided for by statute.鈥�

Further, the judge鈥檚 order does not explain what it would entail to verify that an applicant is a U.S. citizen. Requiring additional documents, like a U.S. passport, will take time to implement, Kaul argued.

鈥淎 major modification to Wisconsin鈥檚 electronic voter registration process will require months of development and testing before the changes may be deployed,鈥� he said in the request for a stay of the ruling.

Any disabling of the voter registration system while those changes are implemented would violate the rights of others who are trying to register, Kaul argued. The state receives an average of 200 online voter registrations each day, he said.

Attorneys representing the voters who brought the lawsuit did not immediately return emails seeking comment.
