What Happened
The Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled to block a conservative activist's request for guardianship records that could be used to verify voter eligibility. The court's decision prevents the release of these records, thereby protecting the privacy of disabled voters in Wisconsin.
The ruling specifically denied access to guardianship records, which are linked to voter eligibility checks. A conservative activist had sought these records, but the court sided with privacy protections.
This legal action centers on the balance between transparency in voter rolls and the privacy rights of individuals, particularly those with disabilities who may be under guardianship.
