Good News: Oregon Voters’ Privacy Protected in Court

Hi friend,

In case you missed it, a federal judge in Oregon just delivered a meaningful win for democracy and voter trust.

U.S. District Judge Mustafa Kasubhai dismissed the Department of Justice’s attempt to force Oregon to hand over unredacted voter rolls, ruling that the federal government failed to meet the legal standard required to access voters’ sensitive personal information. The decision protects Oregonians from having their private data exposed or misused for political purposes.

This ruling sends an important message: voting laws should never be weaponized to intimidate voters or collect personal data under false pretenses. As Oregon leaders made clear, safeguarding privacy is essential to ensuring people can participate in elections freely and without fear.

✍️ Add your name to applaud Judge Kasubhai for defending voter privacy, election integrity, and the right to vote without interference.

Thank you for standing with us!

In solidarity,
