Washington State Enacts Law to Protect Voter Data from Federal Government
Washington state has passed a new law making it a felony for anyone except the Secretary of State to hand over voter registration data to the federal government. This move comes after repeated requests from the Department of Justice, which were denied due to privacy concerns and legal protections. The Justice Department sought the data to check election systems nationwide for ineligible voters, but state officials see it as federal overreach. Governor Jay Inslee and Secretary of State Steve Hobbs praised the law, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding state information and maintaining a secure, transparent election process.
