US EditionJustice Department expands legal action against states that have refused its demands for voter data
The DOJ has sued six states for refusing to provide unredacted voter registration data needed to verify compliance with federal laws, expanding litigation to 14 states so far.
- On Dec. 2, the U.S. Department of Justice sued six states—Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington—to compel voter registration files.
- The DOJ's nationwide data push began with written demands in September when Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon requested full Washington voter records, part of a national effort targeting at least 40 states and aligning with President Trump’s rejected fraud claims.
- The complaints demand unredacted statewide voter files, including names, addresses, birth dates, driver’s license numbers, and Social Security last four digits, with production within five days.
- Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs refused, citing privacy laws, while Rhode Island Secretary of State Amore said he has 21 days to respond after removing over 100,000 voters since 2023.
- Earlier lawsuits remain stalled; the confrontation now spans fourteen states and over a third of the U.S. population, and Attorney General Pamela Bondi said the DOJ will continue filing proactive election-integrity litigation.
