DOJ after voter data

DOJ filed lawsuits against Maine and Oregon, attempting to obtain private voter registration data.

[...]

Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (D) made her response clear [...] telling Democracy Docket: “We won’t back down.”

[...]

“Our neighbors in New Hampshire also rejected the Department of Justice’s voter request,” Bellows said at a Wednesday press conference. “So it is not normal that they are targeting just me and Oregon with these lawsuits. Why aren’t they targeting New Hampshire or Pennsylvania, who have Republican secretaries of state who have said no?”

[...]

If federal courts side with the DOJ, it could set a new precedent forcing states to hand over extensive, sensitive voter data.
