Voting rights activists sue over DOJ state voter list requests
The groups say the agency has already collected data from more than a dozen states and could wrongly purge eligible voters.
- On Tuesday, voting rights activists sued the Trump administration to block the Department of Justice from collecting state voter lists, arguing the federal government lacks constitutional authority to manage state elections.
- Since last year, the DOJ has demanded unredacted voter rolls including driver's license numbers and Social Security numbers, prompting critics to allege the agency is building a "sprawling new voter surveillance and purging apparatus" without congressional authorization.
- Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon claimed the department reviewed 60 million voter records and identified 350,000 deceased persons and 25,000 people lacking citizenship proof; the lawsuit contends these verification methods are "flawed," risking "false positives."
- Naturalized citizen Nel's registration was canceled after a federal system flagged him as ineligible and he missed a 30-day deadline to provide proof of citizenship; the DOJ is fighting in federal court across 30 states for similar voter data.
- Judges in five states have dismissed similar DOJ demands for failing to justify the requests, even as Trump has urged Congress to approve legislation requiring proof of citizenship to register for voting.
