Battle Continues in Washington to Protect Petition Signer Information

Thu, Oct 15 2009 by Staff

We’ve previously blogged about the battle in Washington state over whether or not the state government should release the personal information of petition signers to the public. The fight continues.

Yesterday, a state superior judge in Washington ordered Secretary of State Sam Reed to keep the petition signer information private.  This move essentially blocks the Secretary of State from releasing the names until the federal case is resolved in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
