LINCOLN, Neb. (KMTV) — A lawsuit has been filed seeking to prevent the disclosure of voter registration information requested by the U.S. Department of Justice, according to the Nebraska Secretary of State's office.
The DOJ sent a letter on September 8 to Secretary of State Bob Evnen's office requesting voter registration information. The request includes details like full names, birth dates, addresses, driver's license numbers and the last four digits of Social Security numbers.
Opponents say they're worried about the federal government's ability to safeguard people's information.
The Secretary of State's office says they have not provided any information in response to the letter.
