Right-Wing Legal Group Files Lawsuits to Access Voter Rolls in Minnesota and Wisconsin
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The right-wing legal group, Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), filed two new lawsuits on Tuesday in Minnesota and Wisconsin to gain full access to their voter registration records.
PILF, which has ties to numerous election deniers like former Trump attorneys Cleta Mitchell and John Eastman, has filed lawsuits in multiple states — including Michigan and South Carolina — to access their voter rolls because the group claims that many states updating their lists.
However, PILF has taken a different legal approach in these recent lawsuits. The National Voter Registration Act’s (NVRA) Public Disclosure Provision requires states to publicly share how they maintain their voter lists for a period of at least two years.
Section 4 of the NVRA, also known as the Motor Voter Law, exempts six states — Idaho, Minnesota, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming — that did not have a voter registration requirement or that allowed any voter to register at a polling place on Election Day prior to Aug. 1, 1994, over a year after the law was passed in May of 1993.
