DOGE worked with political group to probe voter rolls, Trump admin admits [View all]
Federal officials acknowledged that Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employees coordinated 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 (SSA) revealed that DOGE staffers engaged in unauthorized communications and data planning tied directly to election denial efforts, crossing legal and ethical lines meant to protect voter’s personal information.
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 misuse of government data.
The court filing does not name the political advocacy group involved. But in early March 2025, the election denier group True the Vote publicly appealed to DOGE to investigate voter registration systems nationwide, urging the agency to combine its access to federal records with outside voter roll data to identify alleged irregularities.
