Daily Bread for 4.4.26: Maria Lazar Campaign Lies on Its Way Out the Door

Good morning.

Saturday in Whitewater will be windy with a high of 49. Sunrise is 6:31 and sunset is 7:24 for 12 hours 53 minutes of daytime. The moon is a waning gibbous with 93.7% of its visible disk illuminated.

On this day in 1818, Congress, affirming the Second Continental Congress, adopts the flag of the United States with 13 red and white stripes and one star for each state (20 at that time).


So, has Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Chris Taylor been ‘pushing noncitizen voting’?:

No.

We found no evidence that liberal Wisconsin Appeals Court Judge Chris Taylor has supported allowing noncitizens to vote.

Taylor and conservative state Appeals Court Judge Maria Lazar are running in the April 7 Wisconsin Supreme Court election.

Lazar ad claimed Taylor is “pushing for noncitizen voting.” 

Lazar’s campaign cited:

Taylor’s opposition, while a Democratic state lawmaker, to the Republican-backed 2011 state law requiring identification to vote.

Her introduction of a 2017 bill, which did not become law. It would have provided driver’s licenses to unauthorized residents, but the licenses would have been labeled: “Not valid for voting purposes.”

Taylor’s opinion, in a 2024 appeals court ruling, which said absentee ballots count even if voters’ witnesses fail to give election clerks their full address. Citizenship is required to vote in Wisconsin, but Wisconsin election officials generally do not verify citizenship when a person registers.

This fact brief is responsive to conversations such as this one.

See Tom Kertscher, Has Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Chris Taylor been ‘pushing noncitizen voting’?, Wisconsin Watch, April 3, 2026.

And look, and look — the Lazar campaign is crawling to Election Day. Multiple blood transfusions wouldn’t be enough to save that anemic campaign. This false claim about noncitizen voting isn’t about winning the election.

It’s simply a desperation move before the clock run out.
