Case Summary

West Virginia’s Secretary of State, Kris Warner, is asking a federal judge to toss U.S. government demands for unredacted voter registration data. The Department of Justice moved earlier this month to compel West Virginia officials to release the list that would include state voters’ information like birth dates, residential addresses, drivers license numbers and partial Social Security numbers. The Justice Department has filed federal lawsuits against 30 states, so far, plus the District of Columbia, seeking orders compelling them to turn over their data.
