OKLAHOMA CITY – House Democratic Leader Cyndi Munson, D-Oklahoma City, released the following statement after the Attorney General entered a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice on behalf of State Election Board Secretary Paul Ziriax to turn over Oklahoma voter registration data.

“Oklahoma has the most safe, secure, and fair election system in the country,” said Leader Munson. “We have been fortunate that our State Election Board Secretary has stood with Oklahomans to protect private voter information by following state law. However, I am disappointed, yet not surprised that Oklahomans’ private information will now be turned over to the federal government by our Attorney General to further the agenda of the President. Every state leader–elected or not–should prioritize protecting Oklahomans’ voter information at all costs and not be willing to cave to the President. This decision is a betrayal to Oklahomans by the state’s highest position in law enforcement.”
