The ACLU of Rhode Island issued the following statement today:
“Today’s lawsuit by the Trump administration against Rhode Island Secretary of State Gregg Amore poses a major threat to the privacy of Rhode Island voters. Like the outrageous activities of DOGE during the first months of the Trump administration, this latest attempt to collect enormous amounts of data should be of concern to anyone who wants to prevent the misuse of personal information by the federal government.
“Drivers’ licenses and social security numbers provided as part of the voter registration process are sensitive pieces of information that deserve to be protected and that the Department of Justice has absolutely no legitimate need for.
“The ACLU commends Secretary of State Amore for refusing to voluntarily turn over this information, and we are hopeful that the courts will be protective of Rhode Islanders’ privacy rights as this suit moves forward.”
