Voter Rolls
PILF Lawsuit Forces New Mexico to Reduce Fee to Obtain Voter Roll - from $5,000 to $600
- “Under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), states are only allowed to charge reasonable photocopying costs.”
- Editor’s Note - Democrats in Virginia succeeded in raising the cost dramatically in recent years. Democrats do not want citizens attempting to clean up the voter rolls. It’s easier to steal elections when you have lots of ballots floating around and lots of people on the rolls who don’t vote but to whom ballots can be illicitly attributed.
