"Once the govt. crosses the line into sweeping, unexplained grabs for voter data and more, it’s hard to walk it back. If states cave to these requests without demanding a clear legal foundation, they are inviting future administrations to make more such requests." www.votebeat.org/2025/08/11/j...
Why the Justice Department’s requests for voter rolls should raise alarm
The government is obligated by law to explain how it plans to use the information it collects. But the Trump administration hasn’t provided many details.
