Justice Dept. Sues 6 More States for Voter Data

Justice Department Sues Six More States for Voter Data, Escalating Election Security MeasuresThe Justice Department has expanded its legal battle, filing lawsuits against six additional states - Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. The department alleges these states have failed to provide comprehensive voter registration lists, a move it claims is crucial for election security. This brings the total number of states sued to at least fourteen, with the department having requested voter data from at least twenty-six states. However, Democratic officials have raised concerns about data misuse and privacy protection. Some states have provided redacted lists, but the Justice Department seeks detailed personal information. These actions coincide with former President Trumps ongoing election investigations and influence efforts. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city.
