Federal Court Rules DOJ Voter Data Demands Violate Privacy
Original: Federal Court Sides with Common Cause and Voters, Ruling DOJ Data Demands Violate Voter Privacy, States’ Election Authority
A federal court has ruled in favor of Common Cause and individual voters, finding that Department of Justice demands for voter data violated voter privacy and intruded on states' authority over elections. The decision was welcomed by voting rights groups including the ACLU of the District of Columbia, which backed the challenge and says it protects state control of election records.
Why now: The ruling limits federal access to sensitive voter data at a time of intense national debate over election administration and privacy.
