SANTA ANA –  Yesterday, the League of Women Voters of California (LWVC) filed a motion in federal court to intervene in USA v. Weber, the US Department of Justice’s case against the California Secretary of State, to protect the data of all California voters and prevent misuse of that data, which could harm California communities.

“Californians have a right to privacy and a right to vote free from intimidation or misuse of their personal information,” said Helen Hutchison, interim executive director of the League of Women Voters of California. “This attempt by the federal government to access detailed voter data puts those rights at risk. We are standing up for every Californian to ensure that sensitive voter information stays protected and that our elections remain safe and secure.”
