Summary
Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a Democrat, was compelled by a court order to release the names of about 218,000 voters to lawyers representing right-wing activists.
The appeals court upheld a lower court’s decision, which requires disclosing voter information due to a coding error that incorrectly classified some voters’ ballot access.
Fontes, who expressed serious concerns over potential harassment and violence against these voters, unsuccessfully tried to block the request.
The court ruled that Fontes had not provided sufficient proof that releasing the list posed a danger to voters.
From the wording it sounds like it wasn’t made public, just presented to the lawyers. It’s similar to how jehovah witnesses tried to pierce anononimity for the antijw reddit posters to identify defendants in a copyright lawsuit and the judge said something akin to “It’s understandable that you don’t want your name publicly associated with this post, but the court system imparts trust on lawyers to act as good stewards of this information and so plaintiffs council may have access to your identity.” If this information is leaked they should be disbarred on the spot for mishandling the data.
I would hope so.
