Alaska Beacon: Civil rights groups sue Alaska Division of Elections for sharing voter rolls with DOJ

“The lawsuit is filed in Anchorage Superior Court and brought by the League of Women Voters of Alaska, and the Alaska Black Caucus, non-profit membership voting and civil rights organizations. They are represented bythe ACLU of Alaska, the ACLU national chapter, the Voting Rights Project and Electronic Privacy Information Center.”

“’The right to vote and our right to privacy are two core values held dear by Alaskans,’ said Eric Glatt, legal director for the ACLU of Alaska, in a statement announcing the lawsuit. ‘Rather than fiercely defending the rights of Alaska’s voters, our Division of Elections acceded to federal overreach. Now, we are asking the court to step in and ensure that DOE upholds its constitutional and legal obligations to Alaskans.’”
