Wisconsin Supreme Court rejects voter records request

The United States — Wisconsin Supreme Court, in a 5-2 decision on July 7, 2026, rejected an attempt by conservative activist Ron Heuer and his group Wisconsin Voter Alliance to obtain guardianship records to find ineligible voters. The court ruled that the records are not public under state law, overturning a lower appeals court decision. The case stems from efforts to challenge President Joe Biden's 2020 victory in Wisconsin. The majority opinion was written by Justice Janet Protasiewicz, joined by Chief Justice Jill Karofsky, Justices Rebecca Dallet, Susan Crawford, and conservative Justice Brian Hagedorn. Justices Annette Ziegler and Rebecca Bradley dissented. The ruling protects the privacy of individuals under guardianship.
