US EditionGeorgia Senate Panel Sides with DOJ in Fight for Full Voter List
The Georgia Senate panel's symbolic resolution supports the DOJ's effort to obtain full voter data despite privacy concerns raised by Democrats.
- On Thursday, the Georgia Senate panel approved a resolution urging Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to provide the U.S. Department of Justice with unredacted voter records including Social Security and driver's license numbers.
- Framed as support for a national data request, Republican senators described the resolution as backing the Trump administration's effort to collect voter data.
- The Senate Ethics Committee voted along party lines to advance Senate Resolution 563, with Republicans criticizing Raffensperger for missing the hearing and Democrats warning of identity theft and high taxpayer costs, citing Sen. Kim Jackson, D-Stone Mountain.
- The measure is symbolic and lacks legal force, while the Department of Justice sued Georgia for the full voter list and a federal hearing is scheduled later this month.
- Across the country, the DOJ has sued several Democrat-led states that refused voter record requests, while Republican-run states like Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee provided full lists; state leaders including Gov. Burt Jones and Attorney General Chris Carr shape this response.
