Celebrate Pennsylvania for Protecting Voter Privacy

Pennsylvania election officials stood up for voter privacy, election integrity, and the rule of law — and that's worth celebrating.

A federal judge dismissed the Trump administration's attempt to force Pennsylvania to hand over unredacted voter registration records, ruling that the Justice Department had no legal basis for its unprecedented demand. The decision marks another major victory for states defending their authority to administer elections and protect sensitive voter information.

Our elections work best when they're secure, transparent, and free from political interference. Voters should be able to participate without worrying that their personal information will be swept into unlawful government databases or used for purposes beyond administering elections.

The court's ruling reinforces an important principle: states have the constitutional responsibility to run their own elections, and any attempt to override that authority must follow the law.

Protecting voter privacy helps strengthen confidence in our democracy and ensures that eligible Americans can participate in elections without unnecessary government intrusion.
