Justice Department Sues Multiple States for Voter Roll Access
The U.S. Justice Department has intensified its legal actions against several states, filing lawsuits against five additional states to obtain access to voter registration lists. The lawsuits primarily target Republican-led states including Oklahoma, Kentucky, and Utah, alleging failures to produce complete voter rolls and personal voter information. Specifically, the DOJ is demanding sensitive data such as names, birth dates, and ID numbers from these states. Advocates for voting rights are voicing concerns over federal overreach while emphasizing the importance of protecting election integrity amidst these developments.
