The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) is facing significant opposition from several conservative states regarding its requests for sensitive voter data, including driver’s license numbers and partial social security numbers. As of April 1, the DoJ has sued 30 states and the District of Columbia for not complying. Notably, states like Utah, West Virginia, Georgia, Kentucky, and Idaho are resisting these requests, emphasizing their constitutional authority over election administration and raising concerns about data privacy. The DoJ's motives have been questioned, particularly as they stem from former President Donald Trump's unfounded claims of a stolen election. Critics warn that the use of sensitive data could undermine trust in the electoral process and potentially lead to voter disenfranchisement in the upcoming 2026 midterms. Many of these states have asserted that turning over such data would violate state laws and compromise the privacy of their residents. For instance, West Virginia's Secretary of State, Kris Warner, stated that he would not risk the privacy of voters by complying with the federal request. Similarly, Idaho's Secretary of State, Phil McGrane, expressed concerns about the federal government's handling of sensitive information. Despite some states complying with the requests, the overall pushback from these red states highlights a growing concern over federal overreach in state election matters.
