RNC has a new target in legal attack on voter rolls
On March 27, the Republican National Committee (RNC) sued Delaware for access to the state’s voter registration lists, which it claims it needs to ensure their accuracy.
The case is just the latest lawsuit the RNC has filed in recent years to gain access to state voter rolls. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) also is seeking to obtain voter rolls from all 50 states — an unprecedented federal intrusion on state authority to run elections.
In the Delaware case, the RNC is asking a court to force State Election Commissioner Anthony J. Albence to produce the lists so that it can inspect and make copies “of records concerning programs and activities undertaken to maintain the accuracy and currency of Delaware’s official lists of eligible voters.”
Citing the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), the RNC says it needs access to the registration records for “coordinating party fundraising” and “election strategy” efforts, and to ensure the state is complying with federal election laws.
