Review: Some disputed voter addresses are legitimate The Associated Press MILWAUKEE — A review by the city attorney’s office has found that hundreds of addresses the state Republican Party claimed were incorrect or nonexistent do exist. Milwaukee elections officials earlier this week voted 3-0 to reject a GOP complaint seeking to eliminate 5,619 people from voter registration lists. The party appealed Friday to the state Elections Board, asking it to intervene and remove the names. State Republican Party spokesman Chris Lato said allowing votes from those addresses would amount to fraud. He said the party found more bad addresses on Friday and questioned the notion that the list had significant problems. “Nobody is disputing the vast majority of these are bad addresses,” Lato said. But Milwaukee City Attorney Grant Langley said in a letter to city election commission executive director Lisa Artison that a review by his staff and the district attorney’s office found cases where the party’s database was corrupted and had dropped digits on some homes, so otherwise valid addresses showed up as nonexistent. Langley’s letter said the review casts “doubt on the overall accuracy” of the GOP list and the way it was compiled. At least some of the addresses will be investigated for fraud. Langley said the DA’s office is focusing on about 900 names on the GOP list who registered since the April 6 election wisinfo.com
