A Wisconsin judge told the state Elections Commission to remove thousands of people from its voter rolls, after finding three members of the commission in contempt of court for ignoring an order he gave in December 2019.

“I can’t be any clearer than this,” Ozaukee County Judge Paul Malloy said on Monday. “They need to follow my order.”
