- The lawsuit claims the state board failed to collect required driver’s license or Social Security number digits from about 200,000 voter registrations, violating the 2003 Help America Vote Act.
- The suit follows earlier GOP legal challenges over clerical errors that left ID fields blank, and it disputes the state board’s current plan to update records at polling places.
- The Justice Department is seeking a court order requiring officials to reach out to voters with incomplete records within a 30-day timeframe and assign special identification numbers as necessary to update the voter registration system.
- If granted, the order aims to improve compliance with federal law ahead of September local elections, potentially impacting election integrity and political dynamics.
