Show Notes
The U.S. Department of Justice is facing backlash for suing 29 states and D.C. to access unredacted voter rolls, including sensitive data like drivers license numbers and partial Social Security numbers. The DOJ aims to verify noncitizen voting ahead of the midterms, but has lost cases in California, Michigan, and Oregon. Despite warnings of election security risks, at least 12 Republican-led states have voluntarily shared voter data. Critics argue this is a privacy invasion, while election experts note noncitizen voting is rare. The DOJs pressure to link data to fair elections, without specific violations, has raised concerns about misuse and potential lawsuits over privacy rights.
