Wisconsin has been added to the voter transparency website backed by the Voter Reference Foundation (VRF) with the objective of having a transparent database of updated voters with accurate information.

“We want the states to make our database obsolete by doing all this themselves," Gina Swoboda, executive director of the Voter Reference Foundation, said in a release. "Publish the voter rolls and keep them clean in real time." 

They also need to address issues in real time and recognize that even if discrepancies are paperwork errors, they must be remedied, she said.

Arizona Central reports that Swoboda served as the Arizona Election Day operations director for Trump's 2020 presidential campaign.

The VRF database can be found by visiting VoterRef.com. Wisconsin became the eighth state on the website, joining Georgia, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

The Wisconsin Senate committee recently conducted a public hearing that featured Senate Bill 941, based on election honesty and voter transparency, according to WUWM.

The database will allow for any irregularities to be viewed concerning votes cast and the amount of voters cast in regions voters want to examine, along with permitting crowdsourcing of potential voter fraud activity, according to the organization.

VRF reports that in Wisconsin, there is discrepancy of -3,033, which accounts for the first state showing more votes than ballots cast in contrast to Pennsylvania with a discrepancy of 41,503.

“The fact that Wisconsin’s results revealed an entirely new issue, one in which the official data reflected more voters’ having voted than there were ballots cast statewide, demonstrates the urgency of the work we are doing," Swoboda said. "The public needs transparency and the discrepancies in the data that we are finding confirms that there is more work to be done to ensure the integrity of the process."
