Justice Department Expands Lawsuits Against States Over Voter Data Access
The U.S. Justice Department has intensified its legal efforts to obtain voter data, filing lawsuits against four additional states and one county, bringing the total number of states sued to 18. This action is part of a broader initiative to gain access to detailed voter registration information amid ongoing claims regarding the 2020 election. Notably, lawsuits have been filed against Fulton County, Georgia, as well as states including Nevada and Colorado, with allegations of non-compliance with federal election laws and refusal to provide sensitive voter information. Organizations such as Common Cause and the ACLU are intervening to oppose these attempts, highlighting a contentious battle over voter privacy and access.
