| Land rightly protects voter privacy Sat, 26 Apr 2008 00:00:00 EST Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land made the right decision when she turned down a Freedom of Information Act request for a list of voters' political party preferences from this year's presidential primary.

The primary law also included a section stating that if one part of the law was struck down, the entire statute would be invalid. When a federal judge unsurprisingly threw out the section limiting release of voter preferences, the whole law was struck down. Michigan's prior law, as well as a Supreme Court ruling, protects voter privacy and Land did what was required in keeping the lists secret. |
