  • What Local 5 is learning from an email "back and forth" between the state and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

The article discusses a lawsuit filed by Iowa's Secretary of State, Paul Pate, against the federal government, specifically targeting the Department of Justice (DOJ). The lawsuit claims that the DOJ has not provided adequate information or cooperation regarding the enforcement of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA). Pate alleges that the DOJ has failed to respond to requests for information on how they are ensuring states comply with the NVRA, which requires states to maintain accurate voter rolls. This lack of transparency and cooperation, according to Pate, hampers Iowa's ability to effectively manage its voter registration processes. The lawsuit seeks to compel the DOJ to provide the necessary data and guidance to ensure compliance with federal election laws. This legal action underscores ongoing tensions between state election officials and federal oversight concerning voter registration and election integrity.
