Virginia Local Initiative Proponent Sues to Overturn Law that Bars Initiative Groups from Getting List of Registered Voters

On June 30, Paul Goldman, a Virginia proponent of a local initiative in Richmond, sued the State Board of Elections to overturn the law that won’t let his committee have a copy of the registered voter list.  Virginia law lets candidates buy the list, but not proponents of a ballot measure.

Goldman’s initiative needs 10,398 valid signatures in the city of Richmond in a brief time period.  The case is Goldman v Alcorn, state court in Richmond (circuit court), case 17-2997-5.  Thanks to Rosanna Bencoach for this news.

UPDATE:  see this story.
