re: #205 MsJ

And the courts rules Trump’s Stop The Vote commission can collect all the private data they so desire. Yee fucking haw.

This is likely to be the key quote:

“The mere increased risk of disclosure stemming from the collection and eventual, anonymized disclosure of already publicly available voter roll information is insufficient” to block the data request, she wrote.

The judge is saying that if the info is already publicly available, then it’s not in danger of being leaked out. But the problem isn’t the public info, it’s the private info that this commission is trying to pressure states into releasing to them. This judge seems to be giving Kobach the benefit of the doubt which he doesn’t deserve by this point.
