Montanas Secretary of State office faces scrutiny from a state oversight committee over unanswered questions about sharing voter data with the federal government. Despite a memo from Christi Jacobsens team, lawmakers remain unsatisfied with explanations on handing over unredacted voter rolls to the Department of Justice. Emails reveal the office confirmed satisfying a federal request for confidential voter information, allowing federal involvement in screening potentially ineligible voters. Jacobsen clarifies her office never shared individual voting records or unredacted files with the feds, but committee members express frustration over non-responsiveness. The committee holds off on a subpoena, planning a final request for clearer answers before their next meeting in May. This situation highlights ongoing tensions between state election officials and oversight on federal involvement in voter rolls, with more details expected to emerge soon.
