Court Rules Justice Department 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 their own elections. Civil liberties and government watchdog groups, including the ACLU of DC and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, are highlighting the decision, which limits federal access to state voter rolls.
Why now: The ruling constrains federal election data-gathering and has implications for voter privacy and states' control of elections.
