Right-wing group asks Supreme Court for access to state voter rolls

[RandySF]

The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) — a conservative legal group known for promoting voter roll purges — is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to force Hawaii to hand over its statewide voter file.

In a petition filed Friday, PILF asked the justices to review a ruling from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that rejected its demand for Hawaii’s statewide list of registered voters.

It’s the latest effort by the right-wing group to turn the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), a landmark pro-voter law, into a tool for scrutinizing voter records and fueling purges. And it could potentially help the anti-voting group gain access to other states’ voter rolls.

Passed in 1993, NVRA expanded registration access while protecting voters from wrongful removals.
