Wisconsin appeals court overturns order to purge more than 200,000 voters from rolls
A Wisconsin court of appeals handed Democrats a win on Friday by overturning a ruling that sought to purge up to 209,000 people from voter registration rolls.

The ruling gives a boost to Democrats in a state that's poised to play a decisive role in the 2020 presidential race. President Trump won Wisconsin by fewer than 23,000 votes in 2016.
