Judge Dismisses DOJ Lawsuit Seeking Unredacted Georgia Voter Data
[ATLANTA] A federal judge on October 1 dismissed the U.S. Department of Justice's lawsuit seeking unredacted Georgia voter-registration data, WUGA reported. The judge found the DOJ's request lacked sufficient legal basis and that the state may redact voters' personal information.
The DOJ had sought raw data including voters' full birth dates and partial Social Security numbers, citing an election-administration inquiry. The Georgia secretary of state's office refused to provide the unredacted version, prompting the suit.
The secretary of state's office welcomed the ruling, calling voter-privacy protection a statutory duty. The DOJ has not said whether it will appeal.
