State Court Allows The League To Join Lawsuit To Protect Voter Data

On Friday, the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania was in Commonwealth Court requesting to join the lawsuit challenging the State Senate’s attempt to obtain private information about Pennsylvania voters.

Yesterday, we won a major victory- a State Court agreed that the League should be allowed to participate in the case.

The motion to intervene in the Commonwealth’s lawsuit against two state senators and the committee was filed by eight voters and Common Cause Pennsylvania, the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania, and Make the Road Pennsylvania. We are represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, the ACLU’s Voting Rights Project, and the law firm Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis LLP.

Pennsylvania’s 2020 election was executed safely and securely. This election review is a blatant attempt to weaken voters’ trust in our election system while exposing their sensitive data to possible exploitation and manipulation. Voters’ private data must be protected.
