More than 350,000 informational data points on Wisconsin’s state voter roll are alleged to be inaccurate, according to a citizen activist.

Justin Gavery is one of about 500 volunteers who banded together nearly two years ago to work to improve voter confidence in Wisconsin elections.

The group found 22,500 address errors in the two counties. The mistakes included missing and invalid numbers and major apartment complexes with only a main address and partial apartment numbers or none at all.
