Wisconsin Supreme Court denies access to voter competency records

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled 5-2 that an activist group, Wisconsin Voter Alliance, does not have the right to access documents notifying election officials of individuals declared incompetent to vote. The court determined these records are closed under state law to protect privacy, rejecting the group's open records requests and lawsuit. The group, led by Ron Heuer and Erick Kaardal, has been active in election denial efforts since 2020.
