DOJ sues Idaho over voter rolls containing partial Social Security numbers 30th state
The Trump DOJ files suit against Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane under the National Voter Registration Act, alleging Idaho's voter registration rolls contain partial Social Security numbers in violation of federal privacy law. The lawsuit is the 30th state-level NVRA action the DOJ has filed as part of a coordinated national voter roll audit campaign. Critics note the DOJ's framing focuses on data accuracy but the lawsuits generate pressure on states to prune voter rolls in ways that historically disproportionately affect low-income and minority voters.
