The hysterics of this one are telling to say the least…
A judge in New Mexico recently ruled in favor of an election integrity non-profit group called the “Voter Reference Foundation”.
What does the Voter Reference Foundation do? They maintain a website called VoteRef.Com, among other things, which publishes partial voter records online.
These partial records include data searchable by name or address, if they voted, which county they voted in, and the number of times they voted, in some states party affiliation is listed.
They do not include who or what any individual voted for. They also omit records belonging to people with special circumstances such as those suffering from a stalker, domestic assault, or abuse.
Why are leftists everywhere in a tizzy then?
Here are just some of the things being said, I think you can get the picture:
Following the ruling, the Voter Reference Foundation said it would post #NewMexico voter rolls online starting Tuesday.

The Voter Reference Foundation should actually be called The Voter Interference Foundation. This is a voter suppression tactic and the right is all in for it. Every “voter integrity” group is 100% about voter intimidation. https://t.co/7PUo0A6oF4

The Associated Press reports:
The foundation — backed by former GOP Senate candidate Doug Truax of Illinois — took its New Mexico records offline in response and sued the state in federal court, alleging violations of due process and free speech guarantees.
The judge’s order blocks prosecution while the case advances toward trial and said that the Voter Reference Foundation is likely to prevail in its claim as the victim of viewpoint discrimination by election regulators.
A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction to the Voter Reference Foundation, prohibiting the New Mexico Attorney General from prosecuting the nonprofit for publishing voter information.

"The Voter Reference Foundation is putting the nation’s voter rolls online while making unsupported claims suggesting election fraud. The group’s funding can be traced to a Super PAC funded by the CEO of Uline." 👀https://t.co/jdqYAUWF3v

Conservative Brief offered this quote from Doug Truax:
Former GOP Senate candidate Doug Truax said that his group “won’t be intimidated by politicians who, for some reason, don’t want to give the people of their state easy access to election records they pay for.”
