ACLU Files Motion to Protect Voters in Federal Lawsuit Against Nevada
The DOJ alleges Nevada violated federal election laws by withholding full voter data, while the state cites privacy concerns and calls the demand unprecedented.
- Friday's filing by the DOJ Civil Rights Division added Nevada to a wider legal effort, accusing it of violating the National Voter Registration Act, Help America Vote Act and Civil Rights Act.
- The Civil Rights Division's initial demand, made in August, called for full registration lists including Social Security numbers and driver’s-license information, but Nevada and most states refused to provide those fields.
- DOJ filings say full registration lists are required to check state compliance and strengthen election security, while Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar called the request `unprecedented` and said more time was needed to protect sensitive voter information.
- The American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada filed to intervene on Sunday and vowed to challenge the demands to protect voter privacy, while officials warned the requests amount to intimidation ahead of the 2026 cycle.
- Related litigation — notably a DOJ request tied to Fulton County's 2020 records — illustrates a broader pattern raising constitutional questions under Article I, Section 4 about state election authority after a dismissal last month.
