Wisconsin's election bosses just told 1,800 clerks they are not allowed to check whether voters are American citizens. They did it eighteen days before an election. The Wisconsin Elections Commission voted unanimously to bar every municipal clerk from using SAVE, the federal citizenship database. The Supreme Court cleared the way for it on September 25. Wisconsin got the green light and slammed on the brakes anyway. Their excuse is a state privacy law. Their backup plan is even better. According to their own FAQ, what stops a noncitizen from voting is that he swears he's a citizen and might get prosecuted if somebody ever catches him. That's the whole firewall. Then it gets worse. The same commission's guidance says ICE, DHS, and FBI agents who show up at the polls get treated like any other observer. If a federal agency is spotted in the parking lot and isn't taking a lawful action, clerks are told to call local police to find out why it's there. So the feds get the third degree, and the voter rolls get the honor system. Wisconsin's Democrat primary for governor in August was decided by fewer than 4,000 votes. Tell me again this doesn't matter. If Madison won't verify citizenship, Congress needs to pass the SAVE America Act and do it for them.
