** RNC Sues Hawaii Chief Election Officer

------------------------------------------------------------

Today, the Republican National Committee (RNC) announced it has filed a lawsuit against Hawaii’s Chief Election Officer for refusing to release information on the state’s voter roll maintenance procedures, as required by federal and state law. This legal action underscores the shared commitment of the RNC and the Hawaii Republican Party to ensure fair, transparent, and secure elections for every voter.

As Chairman of the Hawaii Republican Party, it is my privilege to work directly with RNC Chairman Joe Gruters and his legal team to support and strengthen election integrity across our islands. The Hawaii Republican Party takes this mission personally and we will continue to fight to ensure that every vote cast in the Aloha State is secure and every election is fair. I want to thank Ralph Cushnie and Laura Nakanelua for their partnership, commitment, and persistence in ensuring that the people of Hawaii can vote with confidence in the integrity of our elections. May God bless our great state and guide us as we move forward with integrity and trust.

** RNC Sues Hawaii to Obtain Information on Voter Role Maintenance
------------------------------------------------------------
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Joe Gruters released the following statement after the RNC filed a lawsuit ([link removed]) against Hawaii’s Chief Election Officer, after he refused to provide information on the state’s voter roll maintenance procedures:

“Hawaii citizens deserve to have confidence that their state is properly maintaining voter rolls,” said Chairman Gruters. “Hawaii has a legal obligation to provide this information and is blatantly breaking their own law. Hawaii citizens deserve to know if their election officials are cleaning their voter rolls as required by law, which is why the RNC is suing.”

Background:
* In March, the RNC submitted a public records request to Hawaii’s Office of Elections asking for records on the state’s voter roll maintenance procedures required by the National Voter Registration Act ([link removed]) of 1993 (NVRA).
* Under the NVRA, states must permit the public to inspect records showing how voter rolls are maintained.
* Despite this legal obligation, the Office of Elections refused to say whether it has any of the records the RNC requested.
* Beyond Hawaii's obligations under the NVRA, the Office of Elections must comply with Hawaii's own public records law, which requires disclosure when federal law mandates public access.
* The RNC is suing to force the Office of Elections to produce these records as required by Hawaii law.
* This lawsuit builds on the RNC’s largest ever nationwide records requests ([link removed]) to 48 states and D.C. for information on voter roll accuracy from earlier this year.
