The Justice Department wants every state's unredacted voter fileโ€”names, addresses, dates of birth, driver's license numbers, and partial Social Security numbers for roughly 160 million registered voters. Since May 2025, DOJ has demanded these records from at least 44 states. Twenty-five jurisdictions refused and are now being sued.
