Right-Wing Legal Group Targets States Exempt From Releasing Voter Registration Lists
The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), a right-wing legal group, has filed lawsuits in numerous states to try to gain access to their voter registration records ahead of the 2024 election.
Recently, the organization has focused on targeting the states that are exempt from the National Voter Registration Act’s (NVRA) provision requiring states to disclose their voter rolls. PILF has started with Minnesota and Wisconsin, but there are four other exempt states that the legal group could sink its teeth into next — Idaho, New Hampshire, North Dakota and Wyoming.
“No state should be exempt from transparency,” said PILF President, J. Christian Adams in a release. “All states should be treated equally under the law and no exemption should allow certain election officials to hide documents relating to voter list maintenance activities. This lawsuit is the first step to bringing the National Voter Registration Act’s transparency requirements to all 50 states.”
The NVRA’s Public Disclosure Provision requires states to publicly share how they maintain their voter lists for a period of at least two years.
