Attorneys Alicia Kutzer and Bill Olson discuss our amicus brief filed at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in U.S. v. Weber and U.S. v. Oregon, regarding election integrity and the federal government’s role in overseeing the upkeep and maintenance of state election data, including state voter registration lists. Washington and Oregon (and other states) refused to comply with, and challenged, the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice (DOJ) lawful requests made to states for documents and information regarding each state’s voter registration rolls. The states, and the lower courts siding with them, ignore the clear requirements of (1) The Civil Rights Act of 1964; (2) The National Voter Registration Act of 1993; and (3) The Help America Vote Act of 2002.
