dailykos.comThe Trump administration has filed lawsuits seeking sensitive voter data from 30 states. The Department of Justice has 30 active lawsuits against states and the District of Columbia to force the turnover of records that include drivers’ licenses and social security numbers, Eileen O’Connor, a senior counsel with the Brennan Center who spent eight years in the DoJ’s voting section, said.
Eight courts have issued rulings in the cases, and the Department of Justice lost each one.
The suits seek unredacted statewide voter registration records from 2020, including one filed against Georgia. The FBI has launched investigations into allegations of voting fraud in Georgia, Wisconsin, and a few other swing states. This year the bureau raided an election hub in Fulton County, Georgia, seized election data and images of ballots in Arizona, demanded ballots in Michigan, and in May expanded its inquiries to the Milwaukee area.
FBI agents visited homes of former and current Wisconsin election officials as part of the probes. President Trump issued an executive order on mail-in voting in late March 2026. The order gives the United States Postal Service powers to issue new rules on mail-in voting and directs the Department of Homeland Security to develop lists of citizens using federal data.
Officials from 23 Democratic states including California and Washington DC filed a lawsuit in early April 2026 to block the order. ” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stated on Fox News last month there was “a ton of evidence that the election was rigged” in 2020.
The Department of Justice sent a federal prosecutor to observe ballot processing in Los Angeles after the June 2026 California primaries.
