Months later, DOJ lawsuit to obtain WA voter rolls can move forward
It took the federal government months to properly serve attorneys for Washington in the Trump administration’s litigation to force the state to turn over its voter rolls.
But now the lawsuit filed in December can finally move forward.
Secretary of State Steve Hobbs told the Trump administration last year that he would be willing to provide public information from voter records. But he wouldn’t hand over dates of birth, driver’s license numbers or the last four digits of social security numbers. He wrote that information is protected under Washington law.
“The DOJ has not specified what voters’ private data will be used for, how that data will be kept secure, and whether that data will be shared with other federal agencies,” secretary of state’s office spokesperson Stefanie Randolph said in an email.
