Overview
- The Justice Department filed new cases against Colorado, Hawaii, Massachusetts and Nevada for refusing to provide full statewide voter lists, and separately sued Fulton County, Georgia, to obtain 2020 ballots, stubs and signature envelopes.
- Officials say the Attorney General is enforcing the Civil Rights Act of 1960, the National Voter Registration Act and the Help America Vote Act to compel production of records.
- The requested voter data include full names, dates of birth, residential addresses, and either driver’s license numbers or the last four digits of Social Security numbers.
- Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold and Massachusetts Secretary William Galvin rejected the demands, citing privacy protections and insufficient justification for releasing voters’ personal information.
- The DOJ says it has now sued 18 states over voter lists, as trackers report demands sent to dozens of states, most of which have withheld unredacted databases, and Fulton County maintains the 2020 records are sealed without a court order.
