DOGE Gave Your Social Security Data To 'True The Vote' [View all]

“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.
