US judge OKs online publication of New Mexico voter records
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A conservative-backed initiative to publish voter registration records from across the country online for public consumption can move forward over the objections of New Mexico election regulators, a federal judge has ordered in a preliminary opinion.

Albuquerque-based U.S. District Court Judge James Browning issued an order last Friday preventing New Mexico state prosecutors from pursuing allegations of possible election code violations against the creators of VoteRef.com.

The VoteRef.com website provides searchable access to voter registration records by name and street addresses, often indicating when people voted in past elections.

The online records do not say for which candidates the people voted or how they voted on initatives. Party affiliation is listed for voters in some states but not all.

The party of "Harass Republicans Wherever and Whenever You Feel Like It" seems a little hypocritical, no? (https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216972047)

8. IMHO

that seems to set up people as targets.

Said the democrat, probably crying tears of joy at the hordes outside Justice Kavanaugh's house.

4. From across the country??

Does that mean that people in New Mexico has access to my voter registration records in Maryland?

Why yes, Melissa Koskos, it does.

Remember when California and other Blue states published the names and home addresses of concealed carry permit holders? I do.

Also, I remember campaigns in the past where one dude says about the other dude "He didn't even bother to vote in the last two elections!!"

That, and innumerable examples of doxxing by the left.

Remember when California and other Blue states published the names and home addresses of concealed carry permit holders no more than a month ago? I do.

In toddler-like retaliation for the nuke Justice Thomas dropped on their _gunCONTROL strategies in the NYSRPA vs. Buell decision?

Yep.

Post by: SVPete on July 28, 2022, 07:59:22 AM: Judging from some of Tess' posts. how one is registered seems to be public record in at least some states. I guess this is news to some/many DU-folk. In CA, political contributions are also public record (unless it was changed recently), e.g. https://news.yahoo.com/mozilla-says-ceo-resigns-amid-gay-marriage-controversy-195338477.html . I haven't used Firefox for 7 or 8 years because of that incident.

Post by: Aristotelian on July 28, 2022, 09:02:43 AM: Will the records also show what proportion of the Democrat voter roll is a) still alive, and b)American citizens?
