A federal judge in New Mexico has ruled that the state must hand over voter registration data to a group of election integrity investigators.
The state’s Democrat leaders must provide voter registration data to the Voter Reference Foundation (VRF).
The VRF is an election integrity group that publishes voter rolls online for public inspection.
The conservative group maintains an online database of voter rolls in over 30 states.
The ruling is a significant setback for Democrats, who have vigorously resisted efforts to increase transparency in elections.
New Mexico threatened to prosecute the Voter Reference Foundation after the group listed the state’s voter data on its website.
In a shock ruling, U.S. District Court Judge James Browning found that the group has a right to access and publish the data under federal law.
New Mexico officials argued that the VRF ran afoul of restrictions under state law.
However, Judge Browning found that those restrictions are preempted by the National Voter Registration Act.
