Matt Blaze: (Minnesota has open primaries - any voter can select which party primary they want to vote in at the time of the primary. There's no party registration, so the primary selected (and not made public) is the only indicator of party affinity in the voter database there.)

Hey, @mattblaze.org, what is this about? Why do they want the voter rolls? What are they up to? Are they preparing to challenge all the votes from people with certain names? Do a voter id thing? Targeted propaganda? Nobody’s really saying.

It is curious. is curious. Minnesota's voter rolls, like those of most states, are essentially public, including name, address, phone number (if given), and elections voted in. The only information redacted (by law) is DoB, SSN (etc) and which party's primary elections they chose to vote in.

So one can only speculate on why DoJ would want the redacted information, given that the basic names and addresses, etc, are already public info. See: revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/201.091
