Protect Nebraska voters’ privacy!

Dear Secretary Evnen,

I am a Nebraskan writing to urge you to immediately halt the release of Nebraska’s full, unredacted voter file to the U.S. Department of Justice until the courts have ruled on the pending litigation.
Releasing Nebraska’s full, unredacted voter file before the courts have ruled would cause irreversible harm. The voter file contains sensitive personal information, and once it is released, that privacy cannot be restored. Acting before the legal process is complete undermines due process and erodes public trust in our elections. Voters were promised their information would be protected while this case is ongoing, and that commitment should be honored. Data security matters, and voter information should not be released while serious legal questions remain unresolved.
I respectfully ask you to pause any release of voter data until the courts have had the opportunity to decide this matter.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

[Your City & State]

Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a voter from [City].

I’m calling to ask Secretary Evnen to halt the release of Nebraska’s unredacted voter file until the courts rule on the pending litigation.

Releasing sensitive voter data before a court decision would undermine privacy, due process, and public trust. This is not partisan. It’s about protecting voters’ personal information.

Thank you.

Summary

We need your voice – right now. You may remember that in September, for unknown reasons, the U.S. Department of Justice demanded Nebraska’s full, unredacted voter files, prompting public outrage and a lawsuit from Common Cause. This week, our colleagues have learned that Nebraska Secretary of State Bob Evnen plans to release the voter files to the DOJ before the litigation is resolved, reversing his prior commitment to the court to hold those files while the case proceeds. A court hearing to stop the release could occur as early as this week, but for now, your unreacted information, along with all Nebraskans' files, is scheduled to be released on Jan. 9. This is not OK – and Nebraskans need to speak up. &rsaquo;&rsaquo; Nebraska’s voter file contains sensitive personal information. Once released, it cannot be pulled back. &rsaquo;&rsaquo; Releasing the data before the courts rule undermines trust, due process, and the integrity of our election system. &rsaquo;&rsaquo; Voters were promised their privacy would be protected while the case is ongoing. That promise should be honored. &rsaquo;&rsaquo; Data security matters. Voter information should not be treated casually or politically. Take action today. Call or email the Secretary of State and tell him to halt the release of voter data until the courts have the opportunity to decide this case. Be respectful. Be firm. Let him know Nebraskans expect better. And be clear about this final point: This is not a partisan issue. This is about privacy, data security, and the integrity of our elections. No matter how you vote, no matter your party, every Nebraskan has a stake in protecting their personal information and upholding public trust. Your voice matters. Make the call. Speak up TODAY.
