DOGE Gave Your Social Security Data To 'True The Vote'

[turbinetree]

“We’ve received word that this message is being carried forward,” True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht wrote of the effort.

By Susie Madrak — January 21, 2026
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Looks like DOGE was up to no good with our Social Social Security data, just as we thought -- crossing legal and ethical lines meant to protect voter’s personal information.

The feds now acknowledge coordinating with a political advocacy group on a “voter data agreement” aimed at analyzing voter rolls in an effort to challenge election outcomes.

In a court filing Friday, the Social Security Administration revealed that DOGE staffers engaged in unauthorized communications and data planning tied directly to election denial efforts. Although SSA said it has not yet found proof that its data was actually shared with the group, it did admit the agreement bypassed internal safeguards designed to prevent exactly this kind of abuse.

9. Me! Me! Sign me on! n/t

[yellow dahlia]

25. Where do we sign up?

[Botany]

2. "They" have to cheat to win.

In 2024 Musk’s DOGE boys were very busy with their “ballotpedia that ran programs that made
sure the vote would come out in favor of Trump. Harris is our legitimate President. And why in
the hell is Musk who isn’t even an American and gives Nazi Salutes messing with our vote?

[yellow dahlia]

26. Yup.

And now do they have even more information to manipulate?

[Botany]

29. Republicans have not won a national presidential election since 1956 that they haven't cheated in or been ..

…. the legacy of cheating.

[yellow dahlia]

31. Sounds about right.

Never in my life time. Sad. Angry. Exasperated. Speaking out!

[Hugin]

4. In any of the previous 248 years of this Republic an admission like this would have instantly ended administrations.

Now, it’s just Wednesday.

[yellow dahlia]

27. Yup

[dickthegrouch]

5. What the hell has Social Security data got to do with voter rolls?

Aside from having a flag which denotes citizenship vs other social security-eligible statuses, there is nothing in there that I can think has any relevance to voting. It certainly doesn't have anything to do with voter behavior, which is why they are attempting to extort the voter info from the States themselves, illegally, of course.
Even the States aren't supposed to know exactly how any individual voted, so there's still ann huge disconnect here.
WTF are they doing with the data?
What have they previously collected that they failed to tell us about?
Where the fuck is the press in all this?

[Qutzupalotl]

37. One way it could be used is cross-referencing

with social media profiles, as was done in 2016 with Facebook and Cambridge Analytica. Not every voter will have an account, but enough will to make this a lucrative endeavor.

True the Vote is notorious for challenging voter registration with flimsy rationale and no notice to the voter.

[dickthegrouch]

6. The only fix for this I can think of is new (longer) SSNs for us all

That's the usual remedy when passwords are compromised in an enterprise setting. Everyone has to reset their password. NOTHING short of that should be discussed for this breach.

Yes, it will be hugely expensive, claw back the thefts from every public fund that's been looted, plus interest, plus 1000% damages from all the thieves to pay for it. THEY must feel the pain of their greed and damage done to us.

Since so many different non-governmental systems (illicitly) use SSNs as part of their ID mechanisms, such a renewal needs to be meticulously planned. If the government doesn't already have a plan for this, their risk analysis has been criminally short-sighted and the management equally criminally negligent.

In fact we've seen severe breaches of SSN data before, and nothing has been done. It's well beyond time to fix that!

[slightlv]

19. Anyone remember the hoopla when SSN's were first

proposed? The Religious people had a pure hissy fit... "Mark of the Beast" type stuff when it was proposed. Government assured everyone at that time that SSN's would NOT be used as IDs for any citizen. Gee... look... they lied! /snark

[dickthegrouch]

23. At one point SSN was the Driver's Licence number in at least Hawaii

But to be fair, most of the illicit use of SSNs was by companies too lazy to create their own IDs, and too intent on being able to connect the dots in the same way as Palantir is now attempting on steroids (equally illegitimately).

[slightlv]

36. Ks was the same way, dick...

until such a fuss was raised they changed it. As far as companies go, there's a LOT of reorganization and regulations that are going to have to be enacted after the fall of this administration. A new Constitution, more clearly spelled out in common language, with some restrictions included. Although the past two years have failed, I believed Germany had the right idea about neo-nazi groups. We may have to do something like that in the US and these nazi and other other militia groups when all is said and done. We've now seen that the main danger to the country isn't from the outside... it's coming from inside the house. Our own people are our enemies, and we need to somehow come to deal with them in the future. If they're under rocks, they can too easily slip out.

7. "They won fair and square."

Riiiiiiight.

[WestMichRad]

10. "Although SSA said it has not yet found proof ...

… that its data was actually shared with the group…”

[patphil]

11. If True the Vote is in possession of this data, they can/should be prosecuted for possession of stolen goods.

Musk and his DOGE boys should be prosecuted for theft of that information from the Social Security Administration.

[moonshinegnomie]

14. prosecuted and sued for damages

i figure 5k per registered voter will do it.

[patphil]

33. Census bureau says there are 174 million registered voters in the US

https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2025/2024-presidential-election-voting-registration-tables.html

That'd be 870 billion dollars....about right I'd say.

[rampartd]

34. trump ordered the crime and musk executed the order.

they need to be codefendants on a multi trillion dollar class action.

bring it in a louisiana court (our "real id" is considered the mark of the beast by our Christians)

[yellow dahlia]

28. There need to be prosecutions!

What is the statute of limitations?

[Lonestarblue]

12. We knew that Musk's DOGE was about a lot more than cutting costs.

They illegally acquired and either sold or gave our private data to third parties. True the Vote doesn’t need our SS numbers, but those numbers come with names, addresses, bank account numbers, and email—information they have no right to possess. Of course, this DOJ will do absolutely nothing about it.

[moonshinegnomie]

13. every voter should sue muskrat personally

5k per voter..

[ShazzieB]

32. Class action lawsuit would be better, imo.

I'm all for suing them, but when a large number of people have similar claims against the same defendant, it's much more efficient to file a class action suit representing everybody. In this case, the number of people affected is gargantuan. There aren't enough lawyers in the entire country to file separate lawsuits for every living person who has a social security number, or enough judges to try all those cases.

Class action lawsuits poll resources and eliminate the need for endless duplication of effort. Perhaps best of all, a class action suit represents the interests of everyone affected by the defendant's actions, not just those with the time, the money, and the moxie to file on their own behalf.

A class action lawsuit this big would attract lots of media attention as well. Just imagine e how much Schlump would hate that!

[BurnDoubt]

15. There are a lot of lamp posts up and down Pennsylvania Avenue....

No Waiting.
This is some seriously TREASONABLE ACTIVITY HERE.
Examples should made.

[BurnDoubt]

16. Is there an Attorney in the house?

Sue their asses.
Remember Lawfare?
It’s who we are, now.
So… line up… sign up... and enlist today!!!!!
Start with Big Dick and Big Balls and Grind Away.

[ChicagoTeamster]

17. Prosecute them.

[Ilsa]

18. I wonder if Marc Elias has enough staff to take this on? nt

[slightlv]

20. I would love to be part of a class action lawsuit on this!

Saw this coming from the very start. Would love to have some satisfaction... especially if it could mean clawback of some money from trump and/or Musk.

[ShazzieB]

21. Same here.

I know a whole bunch of other people who would sign on as well.

[FakeNoose]

22. I don't understand how my SS # tells them how I voted

I live and vote in a very blue city, and a mostly-blue county. My voting record is supposed to be private, but they don't have to guess very hard.

[Evolve Dammit]

24. Gee. Who woulda thunk? We've been raped.

[yellow dahlia]

30. I've been jumping up and down about this since last Spring.

I make the extra signs for a weekly vigil at the local Social Security office. Some of my signs point to the stealing of out data, and The Privacy Act of 1974.

RWcult members occasionally scream out their window - "no one's stealing your data".

I will need to make a sign that says - we warned you.
