Brandtjen (R) files suit seeking to bar Wisconsin from participating in ERIC

GOP state Rep. Janel Brandtjen has filed a suit that argues Wisconsin is barred from participating in a multi-state effort created to improve voter rolls under a constitutional amendment approved this spring.

That amendment states only election officials may perform tasks related to a primary, election or referendum. Brandtjen, R-Menomonee Falls, argues that prohibits the Electronic Registration Information Center from aiding the state Elections Commission in maintaining the state’s voter rolls.

Her suit, filed two weeks ago in Waukesha County Circuit Court, seeks a judgment that Wisconsin’s participation in ERIC is unconstitutional under the new amendment, as well as an injunction barring the Elections Commission from transmitting data to the multi-state partnership.

She also wants Judge Brad Schimel — the former GOP AG who’s now running for state Supreme Court — to order the Elections Commission to retrieve Wisconsin data from ERIC and any third-party vendors working with the group.
