💨 Abstract

South Dakota's Secretary of State Monae Johnson apologized for a data leak involving voter information, which included details about those who registered to vote at public assistance agencies. The release of this information violated federal privacy laws, leading to widespread condemnation. Johnson removed the data and notified affected individuals, emphasizing that registering at such agencies doesn't mean receiving benefits. The ACLU criticized the leak and is urging impacted voters to take legal action.
