SCHEDLER DENIES MASSIVE DATA REQUEST FROM PRESIDENTIAL COMMISSION ON ELECTION INTEGRITYBATON ROUGE, La.—Secretary of State Tom Schedler announced today that he will not comply with the Presidential Commission on Election Integrity request to access voter information in Louisiana. He bases his decision on a long- standing, consistent belief that voter’s private information including social security number, mother’s maiden name and date of birth should be vigorously protected by states.“The President’s Commission has quickly politicized its work by asking states for an incredible amount of voter data that I have, time and time again, refused to release,” said Secretary of State Tom Schedler. That’s it.”Louisiana's public voter list includes only name, address, party affiliation and voter history. Voter history indicates voters’ participation in previous election cycles, NOT how they voted. Schedler’s response mirrors his prior efforts to defend Louisiana’s data against attempts by the Obama Administration’s Department of Justice to obtain private, personal information through a lawsuit filed in the Middle District in July of 2. Louisiana does not register to vote recipients of state benefits with “sufficient vigor.” The Department of Health and Hospitals, as well as the Department of Children and Family Services, are co- defendants in the lawsuit with the Secretary of State. A discovery request by the Department of Justice demanded Schedler turn over Louisiana’s entire election database including the social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, dates of birth and mother’s maiden names of each and every registered voter, as well as the source code needed to manipulate the information contained in the database. The request for the data has since been withdrawn.“I denied the Obama Justice Department’s request and I’m denying President Trump’s Commission’s request because they are both politically motivated,” noted Schedler. That’s why it is protected by six federal laws and two state laws. This Commission needs to understand clearly, disclosure of such sensitive information is more likely to diminish voter participation rather than foster it. I have been fighting this kind of federal intrusion and overreach, and will continue to fight like hell for the people who trust me with the integrity of our election process,” emphasized Schedler.###Letter from Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity.
