(Wisconsin Radio Network) The Wisconsin Supreme Court is weighing whether voter eligibility records should be public

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, the court heard arguments Tuesday concerning whether records identifying people found incompetent to vote should be public. The Wisconsin Voter Alliance wants access to “Notices of Voting Eligibility” to check against voter rolls, arguing the documents can be released with redactions.

Opponents, including Disability Rights Wisconsin, say the forms contain sensitive guardianship information and are protected by state law. It’s the second time the court is being asked to weigh in on this, last year justices rejected an effort to release the records.
