Wisconsin Supreme Court rejects conservative activist's request for guardianship records to identify ineligible voters.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled 5-2 that guardianship records containing information about individuals deemed ineligible to vote are not public records. Conservative activist Ron Heuer and the Wisconsin Voter Alliance had sought these records to cross-check against voter registration lists. The majority held that state law exempts these records from disclosure, while two conservative justices dissented.
