SOS Monae Johnson responds to concerns over sharing of voter data

Secretary of State Monae Johnson was interviewed by KOTA TV regarding recent public concerns over the Secretary of State’s sharing of voter information with the Department of Justice:

“I’m supporting any effort to make our voter rolls clean, and it didn’t matter if it was a Democrat or a Republican president or The Department Of Justice, they have legal right to have that information that we have in our system,” said Johnson.

Johnson says the state turned over the rolls to the Department of Justice, but she declined to sign a memorandum of understanding as the state and federal government ultimately did not agree on terms.
