Wait, what? Texas did what? Tell us what exactly is going on here. >> Texas quietly shared its statewide voter data with the federal government. The request came from the US Department of Justice as part of election oversight. Texas complied. Voter roles are databases used to manage elections. They can include names, addresses, dates of birth, and administrative ID fields. Some groups say the request was too broad, raising privacy questions about how much data the federal government needs. So the question isn't whether Texas complied, it's where oversight ends and voter privacy begins. Thin blue lies, baby.
