华盛顿州拒绝司法部关于敏感选民数据的要求,理由是隐私和可能的滥用。 Washington State rejects DOJ request for sensitive voter data, citing privacy and potential misuse.

华盛顿州国务卿史蒂夫·霍布斯以隐私法为由,拒绝了司法部关于敏感选民数据的请求,包括社会保障和驾驶执照号码。 Washington State Secretary of State Steve Hobbs denied a Department of Justice request for sensitive voter data, including Social Security and driver license numbers, citing privacy laws. 他主动提出提供可供公众查阅的选民信息,但拒绝分享保密细节,并警告可能滥用信息进行移民执法。 He offered to provide publicly available voter information but refused to share confidential details, warning of potential misuse for immigration enforcement. 司法部寻求根据联邦选举法核实选民名单准确性的数据,但Hobbs质疑该请求的意图,将其与质疑选举制度和实行更严格的登记规则的更广泛努力联系起来。 The DOJ sought the data to verify voter list accuracy under federal election laws, but Hobbs questioned the request's intent, linking it to broader efforts to challenge election systems and impose stricter registration rules. 他要求澄清数据将如何使用及其是否符合联邦隐私法规。 He demanded clarification on how the data would be used and whether it complies with federal privacy statutes. 这一决定是在俄勒冈州和缅因州类似拒绝后作出的,并可能导致法律质疑,因为联邦对特朗普行政命令的诉讼仍在继续,该行政命令威胁通过逐个投票系统或不要求公民身份证明,削减各州的资金。 This decision follows similar rejections by Oregon and Maine and could lead to legal challenges, as a federal lawsuit continues over a Trump executive order threatening to cut funding for states with vote-by-mail systems or no citizenship proof requirements.
