Election-denying GOP lawmaker, anti-voting group target New York's voter registration system

An election-denying Republican member of Congress is targeting New York’s voter registration process — demanding records and threatening legal action over familiar, unproven narratives about voter fraud.

U.S. Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.), working with the anti-voting group Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections (RITE), sent a formal request to the New York State Board of Elections last week seeking extensive data on how counties process voter registrations — particularly applications that may be missing identifying information.

The request relies on a contested interpretation of federal law to argue that New York may be improperly registering voters.

“The law is clear: states may not accept registration forms that lack required identifying information,” RITE President Justin Riemer said in a press release. “New York’s own regulations direct officials to do exactly that. This flagrant violation of an important federal safeguard significantly erodes the integrity of New York’s voter registration system.”
