The Democratic Party of Wisconsin sent a letter to Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen Friday calling for the release of any records of communication between the state Department of Justice and outside sources relating to his recent lawsuit against the Government Accountability Board.
The letter was in response to a Republican lawyer, Christopher Morhman, saying Thursday he had discussed his concerns about voter registration checks with the state DOJ before Van Hollen sued over the issue Sept. 10.
Morhman told the Wisconsin State Journal he did not speak directly to Van Hollen over the matter and did not release the names of the lawyers he talked to.
He said he contacted the justice department because the GAB was ignoring its legal responsibilities.
According to a statement, the DPW will push its motion to become a party to the lawsuit if Van Hollen does not provide copies of the communication records.
