(Radio Iowa) - Iowa's secretary of state and the American Civil Liberties Union have sent letters to county auditors, reminding them they are in the three month period when they cannot respond to challenges seeking removal of names from Iowa voter registration lists.
Federal law says such challenges must be tabled within 90 days of an election. State election officials say a non-partisan vendor that monitors activity on voter registration lists reports Iowa county auditors have continued to process voter registration challenges.
The A-C-L-U of Iowa has confirmed the registrations for thousands of voters in Johnson, Muscatine and Pottawattamie Counties have been challenged and some Iowans have had their voter registration improperly cancelled.
