Freedom Foundation: Court: Washington state’s voter registration practices do not violate federal election law

"The [State of Washington] Court of Appeals (Div. 2) ruled today that the Office of the Secretary of State is not violating federal election law by accepting voter registrations from underage applicants. The case was brought by the Freedom Foundation (formerly the Evergreen Freedom Foundation) on behalf of Washington resident and voter Robert Edelman."

Commenting is available below this article.

The Freedom Foundation states that "Records submitted with the complaint showed 127 votes cast by underage voters over an eight year period, including four votes in the February 2008 presidential primary. Mr. Edelman’s complaint also argued that the state’s voter registration application forms failed to advise underage applicants against completing the form."
