Days after learning he was losing his seat on the state Supreme Court, Justice Daniel Kelly signaled he would participate in a case over who should remain on Wisconsin's voter rolls after earlier stepping away from the lawsuit.
The case is expected to determine whether tens of thousands of voters who are suspected of having moved can stay on the state's voter rolls. Both sides are watching the case closely because Donald Trump won Wisconsin's presidential election by fewer than 23,000 votes in 2016.
Before last week's election, Kelly said he would be inclined to re-join the case whether he won or lost his bid for a new term on the court.Now that Justice Kelly has lost his election, where his fellow conservatives tried to suppress the vote, he is more than ready to jump back into the fray to throw thousands off of the voting roll.
On Wednesday, he made that clearer with a court order saying it appears he no longer has a conflict in the case. He asked those involved in the case to file briefs by next week on what they think he should do before he makes a final decision.
Just when you think Republicans can't go lower, they get out their shovels and dig deeper.
