LEGAL ACTIONS CHALLENGING ELECTION OFFICIALS WITH TIES TO VOTING MACHINE VENDORS

NATIONAL ELECTION DEFENSE COALITION V. LAWSON

The National Election Defense Coalition (NEDC) has filed a lawsuit to uncover communications about election security to and from the National Association of Secretaries of State. The lawsuit under the Indiana Access to Public Records Act charges the Indiana Secretary of State, Connie Lawson, with unlawfully denying access to public records regarding the reliability and security of voting machines.

The lawsuit filed in state court in Indianapolis charges that Secretary Lawson’s refusal to provide records constitutes an unlawful denial of disclosure and/or interference with the right to inspect and copy public records, and/or an unlawful delay in responding to NEDC’s request.
