Watchdog files lawsuits over voter registration duplicates, finds millions lacking required ID

 With midterm elections a month away, an election integrity watchdog has filed multiple lawsuits in Minnesota over duplicate registered voters while also finding millions of voter registrations in New York missing personal identifying information. Public Interest Legal Foundation, a conservative election law nonprofit, filed six lawsuits in six Minnesota counties over 515 duplicate registrants.

Under the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA), states are prohibited from accepting a voter registration unless the voter registration contains a unique identifying number such as the last four digits of a social security number or driver's license number.

• HAVA also requires states to implement a computerized statewide voter registration list that is accurate and eliminates duplicate registrations.
