“We write to express our immense concern with recent reporting that the Department of Justice (D.O.J.) has shared voter data with the Department of Homeland Security (D.H.S.), and to seek clarity on whether D.O.J. and D.H.S. actively misled election officials regarding the uses of voter data,” the secretaries of state, who are all Democrats, write.
The letter from 10 Democratic election officials is the latest in the effort to resist and call attention to the Justice Department’s initiative “to compile the largest set of national voter roll data it has ever collected, to essentially establish a national voting database.” The urge to resist arises from a reasonable concern that the initiative is designed to bolster the administration’s unsubstantiated claims about rampant voter fraud.
