Show Notes
Alaskas top elections official, Carol Beecher, refuses to disclose legal advice behind sharing voter data with the DOJ, citing attorney-client privilege. The state, along with Texas, agreed to a special agreement allowing the Justice Department to flag individual voters for possible removal. However, Idaho recently rejected the request due to privacy risks. Federal judges in three states have ruled the Justice Departments requests unlawful, and twenty-nine states plus D.C. are suing. Despite these developments, Alaska stands firm, with Republican officials defending the decision and Democrats pushing for answers.
