Public Interest Legal Foundation, Inc. v. Meagan Wolfe

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of the Foundation’s challenge to Wisconsin’s exemption from the National Voter Registration Act. It held that the exemption does not violate equal-state-sovereignty principles because it relieves states whose registration systems already align with federal policy, and that the congruence-and-proportionality test does not apply because Congress enacted the Act under the Elections Clause rather than Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment. The court accepted Article III standing at the pleading stage but declined to resolve prudential third-party standing.
