In response to numerous organizations motioning to be involved in his lawsuit against the Government Accountability Board, Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced Tuesday he opposes all intervention.
The Republican Party of Wisconsin, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, Madison Teachers, Inc., the American Federation of Teachers-Wisconsin and Madison Firefighters Local 311 all motioned to become parties to the lawsuit.
According to Van Hollen's Omnibus Response to Motions for Interventions, private political interests have no role in this case.
Time is of the essence. I am concerned that if motions to intervene are granted it will only serve to slow down the process,"" Van Hollen said in a statement.
Van Hollen filed the lawsuit Sept. 10 over the GAB failing to cross-check voter registration information.
The lawsuit has drawn criticism, with some groups claiming it is a partisan effort to disqualify voters.
