Trump administration wants state voter records. Does it have Florida's?
The Trump administration is demanding voter records from US states, sparking lawsuits and concerns over voter suppression and data security. Florida has provided some, but not all, of its voter records, withholding sensitive information such as Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers.
The Trump administration is seeking voter records from dozens of US states, prompting resistance and lawsuits. The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and the District of Columbia for voter lists, including driver's license and Social Security numbers, to allegedly prevent ineligible voters from casting ballots. Florida provided its statewide voter registration list last July, but withheld sensitive information such as Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers, citing state law. Federal judges have dismissed the DOJ's lawsuits in five states, calling the effort 'unprecedented and illegal.' Oral arguments are scheduled in May for three appeals. Civil rights groups have filed a lawsuit to block the collection and review of voter records in at least 12 states.
