The state Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the secretary of state does not have to provide a detailed voter database to the N.H. Democratic Party, the League of Women Voters and other plaintiffs in a lawsuit challenging Senate Bill 3, the new law on voter verification.
A lower court had ordered release of the database to the plaintiffs, who claimed they needed certain information from it to make their case.
“We conclude that the database is exempt from disclosure by statute, and we therefore vacate the trial court’s order,” the unanimous order of the five justices said.
