Tracker of Justice Department Requests for Voter Information
The Trump administration is pressing state officials to provide sensitive information about voters.
Since May, the Justice Department has demanded that nearly every state and Washington, DC, hand over election-related records and data, such as full copies of statewide voter registration lists and ballots from previous elections, as well as access to voting equipment. The federal government has sued more than 20 states and Washington, DC, for not complying.
The requests cover sensitive, private information such as driver’s license numbers and partial Social Security numbers. Its collection by the federal government raises serious privacy and security concerns and may violate state and federal laws.
These demands by the Trump administration are unprecedented and a clear encroachment on states’ power to run elections as outlined in the Constitution. The effort is part of the administration’s concerted campaign to interfere with future elections.
Demands for Statewide Voter Registration Lists
At least 47 states and Washington, DC, have received requests for their complete voter registration lists. Most states have provided a publicly available version (which does not include Social Security numbers and driver’s license numbers) or have not provided the voter registration lists at all. The DOJ has sued Washington, DC, and 24 states for refusing to provide their statewide voter registration lists with driver’s license and Social Security numbers: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Hawai’i, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Washington. The cases in California and Oregon have been dismissed.
