A federal judge in Wisconsin declines Republicans' bid to dismiss a lawsuit by Democrats seeking to make it easier to vote in upcoming elections.
A federal judge in Wisconsin on Wednesday declined a request by Republicans to dismiss a lawsuit brought by Democrats seeking to make it easier to vote in the August state primary and November presidential elections.
The Republican National Committee, the state Republican Party and the GOP-controlled Wisconsin Legislature asked for the dismissal of the lawsuit brought by the Democratic National Committee and Wisconsin Democratic Party. But U.S. District Judge William Conley said in his order Wednesday that the case should move ahead quickly so it could be resolved far ahead of the elections.and consolidated with two other cases.
“They want to weaponize the pandemic,” Perez said during a conference call. “They are clearly hellbent on suppressing the vote.” Attorneys for the Wisconsin Legislature and the state and national Republican parties did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.The U.S. Supreme Court ruled just a day before the April election to block Democratic efforts to extend absentee voting. Democrats amended the lawsuit after that election, arguing that changes are still needed in light of in-person voting challenges caused by the pandemic.
