Thank you Lieutenant Governor, Deidre Henderson for safeguarding our private voter information

 Greetings fellow citizens.  Recently the U. S. Department of Justice requested voter information from states.  Most legal experts have expressed doubt regarding the constitutionality of sharing private voter information outside of secure state files, which is where the data are stored.   It is unclear why the DoJ is requesting these data, but many actions of the administration and the DoJ suggest that the reasons are not for the good of the country. 

Utah's election systems are overseen by the Lieutenant Governor, Deidre Henderson.  So far she complied with the first DoJ request, providing publicly available data, as described in state law.

It is possible the the DoJ will ask for other state  data, which are private and stored securely in state data files.  In her letter to the DoJ the Lt. Governor is careful in her wording, but appears to express concerns regarding whether she will release any other data.

All of the Utah Indivisible groups are are asking their members and friends to send Lt. Governor Henderson a note supporting her efforts.  She is a Republican, but did not endorse anyone in the last presidential election - and expressed concerns about elected officials casting doubt on the outcomes of elections. 

This is an opportunity to provide support for someone who can and may do the right thing, where most of us,  regardless of political views, agree that the federal government has no right to our data.   Time is of some urgency - this is an evolving story.  Her contact information is below and in graphic.
