ACLU Challenges the List of Potential Non-Citizen Voting

(Des Moines) The A-C-L-U of Iowa asks a federal judge to block a list the Iowa Secretary of State obtained. The list is of more than two thousand potential non-citizens who have either voted or are registered to vote. The suit requests that election officials be ordered to halt efforts to prevent those on the list from being allowed to vote. It also asks that citizens in the group be allowed to vote with a regular ballot. The Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate’s office says it has been requesting access to information from the federal government to help verify the eligibility of Iowa voters. Pate says the Des Moines field office has reviewed all names provided but that Washington, D.C. officials are preventing the results from being shared.
