Lawyers Committee Files Lawsuit Against Trump Election Integrity Panel
Source: Talking Points memorandum
Another group is suing President Donald Trumps bogus election integrity commission for failing to follow federal open meeting laws.
The Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law filed a lawsuit Monday after the election commission failed to provide information about its upcoming meeting on June 19, which is not open to the public. The Lawyers Committee says this violates the Federal Advisory Committee Act, which requires advisory committees to post notice of meetings, make their discussions open to the public and that written records of the meetings be shared publicly.
Similar to a suit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, the Lawyers Committee complaint claims the election panels upcoming meeting should be open to the public and calls on the group to be transparent about its intentions with the voter data it requested from all 50 states.
The lawsuit asks for a temporary halt on the election commissions operations until it can produce public records from its meetings. It also demands that all of the panels meetings be open to the public.
