Justice Department directs states to hold on to 2024 election records as it seeks their voter data
The department has sued 30 states for voter data and warned officials that election records must be preserved during ongoing investigations.
- The Justice Department sent letters to 30 states instructing election officials to preserve all 2024 election records, warning that officials are "currently under investigation" and subject to "ongoing litigation."
- This directive escalates the Trump administration's long-running conflict with states over voter registration access as officials pursue evidence of widespread fraud ahead of the midterm elections.
- Utah Republican Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson criticized the demands as "baseless accusations," while the Justice Department maintains the Civil Rights Act of 1960 grants authority to seize voter data.
- Election officials in Arizona and Minnesota raised concerns that the requests conflict with state privacy laws, though federal courts have repeatedly dismissed prior lawsuits seeking unredacted voter roll information.
- Federal officials warned of civil and criminal sanctions for failing to preserve evidence, even as 23 judges have ruled against the DOJ's broader voter data seizure efforts this year.
