Uncovering DOJ's Misleading Tactics on Voter Data
Exclusive investigation reveals how the DOJ misled a judge about its use of sensitive voter roll data, raising concerns over potential voter suppression efforts.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has come under fire for allegedly misleading a federal judge about how it is using sensitive voter roll data. According to recent reports, the acting head of the DOJ's voting section told a judge last week that the agency had not touched the nonpublic voter roll data it has collected. However, this statement was not entirely true.
The DOJ has been collecting voter roll data from states across the country, citing the need to enforce federal voting rights laws. This data includes sensitive personal information about registered voters, such as names, addresses, and party affiliations. While the DOJ claims it needs this data to monitor potential voter suppression efforts, civil liberties groups have raised concerns about the agency's true intentions.
