📢The Public Interest Legal Foundation commends Rep. Claudia Tenney for continuing to press the New York State Board of Elections on missing voter data.

✅Rep. Tenney has been one of the few voices consistently pushing for safe and secure elections.

⚖️“Congresswoman Tenney’s tenacity pursuing these flawed records is what makes her a great champion of election integrity,” said PILF President J. Christian Adams. “The Department of Justice should jump in and help with this effort to clean up the voter rolls before the 2026 midterms.”

🗃️Accurate records are foundational to safe and secure elections.
