Watchdog sues California county for allegedly violating voting rules over registration of noncitizens

An election integrity watchdog filed a federal lawsuit Monday against Alameda County in California for not requiring noncitizen voting records to be accessible.

The Public Interest Legal Foundation claims that the Alameda County Registrar of Voters violated the 1993 National Voter Registration Act for failing to make voting registration records of foreign nationals available, Just the News reported. Also known as the Motor Voter Act, the law simplifies the voting registration process by allowing people to register to vote when they renew their driver’s licenses. The goal of the law was to increase voter participation by making voter registration easy and accessible.
