ACLU-NH Legal Director Gilles Bissonnette's Statement Concerning Confidential Voter Information
In the Lasky litigation on August 7, the Secretary of State’s Office informed the Court and the public that no confidential information was contained on the hand-marked checklists that the Secretary planned on submitting to the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity. These hand-marked checklists are available to the public by the Secretary of State’s Office at the State Archives. This representation appears to have been incorrect, as some of these hand-marked checklists actually contain confidential and non-public information written by poll workers, including information concerning victims of domestic abuse whose information is private under New Hampshire law. On Friday, August 25, the ACLU-NH became aware of this issue and the fact that the Secretary of State was orally discussing this issue with municipalities. That day, the ACLU-NH immediately informed the Attorney General’s Office of its concerns.
