Can MuckRock file these requests on behalf of a non-citizen? I recently filed one through MuckRock in TN that was rejected because they said I was not a Tennessee resident.

Hi! Yes, we look for those kinds of rejections and do have volunteers, but if something hasn’t been followed up on please use “Get Help” on the request page or email info@muckrock.com.
