U.S. Justice Department Intensifies Legal Actions Against States Over Voter Data

The U.S. Justice Department has ramped up its legal efforts against multiple states alleging non-compliance with requests for voter registration data. Recent lawsuits include claims against six states, including Washington and Vermont, for refusing to provide unredacted voter rolls. The department is demanding full access to voter registration records, emphasizing the need to adhere to federal laws governing voter information. States, particularly Washington, have openly resisted these requests, raising concerns over privacy and data security. This ongoing legal battle highlights the tensions between state election officials and federal authorities, as state leaders push back against what they describe as federal overreach regarding personal voter information.
