Wisconsin Joins 25 States in Election Funding Lawsuit | Madison News

Wisconsin is leading a coalition of 25 states in a bold legal challenge against the Trump administration, fighting back against new federal funding rules that demand states hand over voter lists, enforce immigration laws, and accept arbitrary cuts to grants—all tied to billions in emergency and counterterrorism funds. The administration claims states aren’t doing enough to verify citizenship, but Wisconsin’s AG Josh Kaul calls it a blatant overreach, violating the Constitution. The threat? Withhold 20% of critical counterterrorism money if states don’t adopt paper ballots, manual audits, and DHS’s citizenship-checking system. This isn’t new—Wisconsin has already won two lawsuits against similar funding-linked immigration demands, exposing a troubling pattern of the administration weaponizing federal dollars to push political agendas courts have already rejected.
