Oklahoma voter data settlement draws backlash

Oklahoma voter data settlement criticized by Munson

An Oklahoma voter data settlement is drawing sharp criticism from House Democratic Leader Cyndi Munson.

Munson called the agreement a “betrayal to Oklahomans” after the state agreed to turn over full voter registration data to the federal government, according to KSWO News Oklahoma.

She said the decision puts Oklahoma voter privacy at risk.

The Oklahoma voter data settlement requires the release of names, dates of birth, addresses, driver’s license numbers, and partial Social Security numbers.

Munson argued Oklahoma already has a safe and secure election system and said sharing the data was unnecessary.

She also criticized the move as politically motivated, saying it prioritizes political ambition over protecting citizens, as reported by Democracy Docket election coverage.

Attorney General defends Oklahoma voter data settlement

The Oklahoma voter data settlement was reached to resolve a federal lawsuit over access to voter records.

Attorney General Gentner Drummond defended the agreement, saying it supports election integrity while still requiring federal compliance with privacy laws, including the Privacy Act of 1974, according to Oklahoma Attorney General Office.

The settlement ends the federal lawsuit against Oklahoma election officials.
