North Dakota election official challenges mail ballot counting law
“Election Day has ceased to be a day,” Foundation President J. Christian Adams said in a statement. “Instead, we have election month because states accept ballots that arrive days and even weeks after Election Day. Not only does this lead to distrust and chaos in the system, but it also violates federal law.

New Database Shows a Single Vote Has Altered Outcomes in Hundreds of Elections
A new database created by the Public Interest Legal Foundation shows that one single vote has altered the outcome of hundreds of elections. Tied elections, like election crimes, happen far more often than you think.

As noncitizens cast ballots, ‘Motor Voter’ law needs reform
As PILF rightly argued, the Motor Voter law needs to be modified and updated. Its guarantees for greater transparency should be kept or even strengthened, and its loopholes allowing fraud should be closed.

Hundreds of noncitizens ended up on voting rolls in Maricopa County
More than 200 self-acknowledged noncitizens have managed to register to vote in Arizona’s Maricopa County and at least nine of them have cast ballots in federal elections, according to a report. The study is the first in a series of reports by the Public Interest Legal Foundation to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Motor Voter law.

10 Million 2022 California Ballots Unaccounted For, Report Finds
“Mail ballots disenfranchise. There are many reasons mail ballots fail ultimately to count,” J. Christian Adams, President of the Public Interest Legal Foundation said in a press statement. “No one casting a ballot at home can correct an error before it’s too late. California’s vote-by-mail demonstration should serve as a warning to state legislators elsewhere.”

A victory for the rule of law in our elections
Our win in Delaware is one small step toward restoring order and predictability to election administration. PILF will bring more cases like it when election officials — or legislatures — do not follow the commands of law in our elections.

Minnesota elections marred by a sex criminal voting twice, plus other errors
It’s bad enough that just six counties in Minnesota feature voting lists with 515 duplicate registrations. It’s worse when a growing number actually show votes cast under both registrations. It’s stunning when one of those apparent double voters is a convicted criminal who has been committed for mental illness.

J. Christian Adams: New Jersey’s voter rolls contain people who were born during the Byzantine Empire
We released a report on the disastrous state of New Jersey’s voter rolls. There are over 8,000 duplicate registrants.

Lawsuit: NYC immigrant voting law favors Hispanics, Asians over Blacks
A controversial new city law that will allow non-citizens to vote in local elections would unconstitutionally bolster the political clout of Hispanic and Asian New Yorkers — at the expense of African-Americans, according to a new lawsuit.
J. Christian Adams, president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, a nonprofit representing the plaintiffs, said the process of getting the new law passed was “infested with racial motivation.”
