We’ll keep this short, John: The MAGA-ified U.S. Department of Justice has been demanding voter data from the states, requesting that election officials turn over unredacted copies of voter rolls and every voter registration application submitted in the past 18 months.
Several states with MAGA-aligned Secretaries of State and opponents of voting rights in charge of elections have complied, but other states are holding out to protect voters from intimidation, including Maine.
DOJ has escalated their attacks in Maine, with suppressive former Trump lawyer, now Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon demanding an electronic copy of the voter registration list that “must contain all fields, including the registrant’s full name, date of birth, residential address, his or her state driver’s license number or the last four digits of the registrant’s social security number” from December 1, 2023, through July 1, 2025.
Folks, the U.S. Constitution entrusts the states, not the president or his agencies, to run elections. There's no legal basis for the DOJ to demand such sensitive and personally identifying information. It's yet another overreach by a president fueled by lies and taken by sycophants who are more loyal to his every whim than the rule of law they swore an oath to uphold.
John, voters in Maine and every other state deserve safe, secure, private elections, free of intimidation. Help us defend our elections and our fundamental right to vote with $25 or whatever you can today >>
