Target Voter Integrity Law

An article titled "Elections Bill HB1264 Has Major Flaws, Must be Paused" posted on Common Cause Indiana, the Indiana branch of Common Cause website dated February 16, 2024 referenced a letter spearheaded by Common Cause Indiana targeting voter integrity legislation in Indiana:^[1]

"Seventeen organizations sent a letter^[2] to Indiana State Senate leadership calling for them to not pass HB1264 – a bill that would allow checks of residency and citizenship using questionable data sources — out of committee this legislative session due to the bill’s numerous flaws..."

Points made in the letter, as summarized by Grok:

Opposition to HB1264, urging the committee to reject the bill
Indiana already has secure elections, ranking 50th in voter turnout in 2022
HB1264 will make registering and voting more difficult, particularly for new and young voters
Crosschecking voter files with BMV data will result in false matches and challenge the registrations of new citizens
30-day period to prove eligibility is inadequate
Requiring proof of residence before registration is processed is a major policy change
Contracting with credit reporting agencies raises privacy concerns and uses unreliable data
Searching for voters registered at non-residential addresses uses inaccurate information
HB1264 will stymie voter registration drives by nonpartisan groups
Courts have struck down similar laws across the country
Rushing the bill through in a short session is irresponsible and unwise

Jalyn Radziminski was one of the signatories.
