“We aren’t asking to see who they voted for or any private information,” Lauren Bonds, the ACLU of Kansas’ legal director, said in a statement. “That information should be afforded the utmost privacy. However, people should know whether their vote counted or if people faced any unnecessary barriers to voting. The public interest here is just transparency.”
The ACLU filed the suit on behalf of Davis Hammet, president of civic engagement organization Loud Light. The lawsuit filed in Johnson County District Court names Johnson County Election Commissioner Ronnie Metsker as the defendant.

The event is free and open to the public. It will be held from 4 to 5 p.m. on Wednesday at Gallery on Sixth located at 107 S. Sixth St. in downtown St. Joseph.
