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 a group of voters, finding that Justice Department demands for state voter data violated voter privacy and encroached on states' authority over their own elections. Voting rights groups, including the ACLU of DC and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, welcomed the decision, which they say protects voter information from federal overreach.
Why now: The ruling is a fresh legal setback for the Justice Department's efforts to obtain state voter rolls, a flashpoint in ongoing battles over election administration.
