Alaska AG Nominee Grilled on Privacy, Voter Data

Alaskas attorney general nominee, Stephen Cox, faced grilling from lawmakers over the states strong privacy rights and its decision to share voter data with the U.S. Department of Justice. Cox, a former federal prosecutor from Texas, defended the data share as routine cooperation under state law, despite initial resistance. Voting rights groups have sued over the issue, claiming it violates Alaskas constitutional privacy protections. Coxs lack of deep Alaska law experience and his involvement in controversial cases have raised questions about his fit for the role. Lawmakers will vote on his confirmation on May seventh.
