Groups sue Alaska election officials, allege the sharing of voter data with DOJ was unconstitutional
Voting groups say Alaska’s voter-file deal lets federal officials flag registrations for removal without notice or a challenge process.
- On Wednesday, the League of Women Voters of Alaska and the Alaska Black Caucus sued Alaska election officials, alleging that sharing the state's full voter-registration list with the Justice Department violates the state constitution.
- Alaska is one of at least 12 states that provided detailed voter registration data, including date of birth and Social Security numbers, to Trump as part of a broad federal effort to analyze voter rolls.
- Plaintiffs argue the agreement violates privacy and due process, claiming it allows the Justice Department to flag voters for removal 'without any apparent notice or process' for individuals to challenge decisions.
- Sam Curtis, a spokesperson with the Department of Law, defended the action, stating state law 'expressly permits the sharing of this information for authorized governmental purposes' and the state will defend the statute.
