Indiana Voter Purge Lawsuit Is Puzzling

Last updated on Friday, August 25, 2017

(UNDATED) - An Indiana law, written as an accommodation for a multi-state program that identifies people who change their residence to another state, came under a puzzling legal assault from the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law.

Edward Zuckerman, of Talk Media New reports, even though the Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck system applies to people who have moved away and are no longer eligible to cast a ballot in their previous state, the lawsuit claims Indiana election administration officials cannot purge former residents from voter registration lists without violating the National Voter Registration Act which instructs states to maintain "current" lists.
