Attorney General Raoul Statement On Court Win To Protect Voter Data

CHICAGO – Attorney General Kwame Raoul issued the following statement in response to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois ruled against the Trump administration in its lawsuit seeking unredacted Illinois voter data containing voters’ sensitive personal information.

“For the 19th time, a federal court has ruled that the Department of Justice does not have authority to demand a state’s unredacted voter registration list. The Trump administration’s demand for Illinois’ unredacted voter registration list is part of the president’s ongoing efforts to undermine and sow doubt in U.S. elections. But in Illinois, we are focused on ensuring voters’ access to the ballot box while protecting their personal information.

“The Constitution is clear: States have authority to administer and regulate elections. Courts have consistently ruled that the Department of Justice’s attempts to commandeer unredacted voter registration lists are unlawful. Free and fair elections are at the heart of our nation’s democracy, and we will not be deterred in our commitment to fighting the federal government’s illegal actions to interfere in and undermine them. Illinois voters can remain confident that our elections are fair and secure.”
