Alaska Lt. Gov. faces lawsuit for sharing confidential voter data with Trump DOJ
The ACLU and other civil rights groups have sued Alaska Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom and the state's Division of Elections Director Carol Beecher over sharing confidential voter data with the federal government. The lawsuit claims the data sharing violated the Alaska Constitution's privacy clause and due process protections.
Civil rights advocates have filed a lawsuit against Alaska Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom and Division of Elections Director Carol Beecher. The lawsuit alleges that sharing confidential voter data, including home addresses and partial Social Security numbers, with the Justice Department violated the Alaska Constitution. The data sharing was part of an agreement that allowed the federal government to identify ineligible voters on Alaska's rolls. The state agreed to purge voters identified as ineligible within 45 days. Experts have raised concerns that the federal database used to identify ineligible voters is flawed. The state Department of Law argues that the data sharing is consistent with Alaska's constitutional right to privacy and a state law allowing confidential information to be shared with other governments.
