Wisconsin, outside groups urge appeals court to reject US demand for state’s voter list

The Wisconsin Department of Justice and the Wisconsin Elections Commission oppose the U.S. Department of Justice's request for unredacted voter lists, arguing the federal agency lacks authority under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) and Help America Vote Act (HAVA). The U.S. DOJ appeals a lower court's dismissal of its demand, claiming the list is needed to investigate potential ineligible voters receiving absentee ballots.
