DES MOINES - Iowa GOP Chairman Jeff Kaufmann released the following statement after the ACLU filed an optics-only lawsuit against Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate's office:

"The insincere hacks at the ACLU are filing this lawsuit just to squeeze a couple more dollars from their donors as Election Day nears. This lawsuit is nowhere near 'voter suppression' as they outrageously claim. Previously self-identified non-citizens are still allowed to vote, the only thing that changes is the ballot type. More political theater from the Iowa ACLU, which should be a surprise to no one."
