“The Republican National Committee is suing New
Jersey for failing to provide public records on the state’s voter roll
maintenance practices…
“‘New Jerseyans deserve to know
whether their voter rolls are accurate,’ Gruters told The Daily Signal. ‘Clean
and transparent voter lists are essential for trust in our elections. The RNC
is suing to obtain these records and ensure the state follows the law.’
“The RNC is filing an election integrity lawsuit against
New Jersey Secretary of State Tahesha Way.
“The RNC has sent 18 separate records requests to New Jersey asking for
information about the garden state’s list-maintenance efforts, including information
about voters who asked to be removed from the rolls.
“[Secretary of State] Way has repeatedly denied these requests, which the
RNC says violates federal law and prevents New Jerseyans from knowing whether
their voter rolls are accurate and being regularly cleaned.
“Trump signed an executive order in March requiring
states to use proof of U.S. citizenship for federal voter registration, setting
Election Day as the uniform deadline for receiving ballots in federal
elections, and conditioning federal election funding on compliance with those
and other election-integrity rules.
“The RNC is working to defend Trump’s
executive order in states where practices prohibited by the directive continue.
While the president is taking the national approach to election integrity, the
RNC is coming alongside him with a state-by-state approach.”
