Op-Ed: Sec of State Denny, Why are You Obstructing Citizen Election Integrity Efforts In Idaho? (Open Letter to Idaho’s Secretary of State)

Dear Secretary of State Lawerence Denny,

Why is your office engaging in statewide obstruction of a citizen’s election integrity effort?   In response to a Public Records Requests (PRR) I submitted to my county in an effort to ensure deceased voter are removed from the voter rolls, on August 24th 2021 your office emailed every County Clerk, Election Director, and election staff member in the state labelling my request “suspicious” and cautioned them to be careful responding to Public Records Requests for data related to voter rolls.  In the email your office asserted “death lists are not public records” and that “we should only be giving lists of Registered Voters (ie: Active Voters) according to code 34-437.”  (I have attached a copy of your email below).
