Hello,
On Saturday, Attorney General Pam Bondi sent Governor Tim Walz a letter with suggestions to curb the “violence” and “lawlessness” in Minneapolis.
One of the requests she made is to grant the Department of Justice (DOJ) access to Minnesota’s voter rolls to “restore order.”
This aggressive demand is part of a widespread push by the Trump administration to access sensitive voter data across the country. Recently, the DOJ filed a lawsuit against Secretary of State Arizona Adrian Fontes for refusing to release voting data on millions of voters.
In fact, 44 states including Washington, D.C. have received similar requests for their voter rolls. Take a look at this map for yourself:
Voter rolls are filled with the sensitive personal information of every American citizen registered to vote, including names, addresses, and Social Security numbers.
The Constitution gives states the power to run elections, not federal agencies. The Trump administration does NOT need the information contained in voter rolls to implement changes that would improve voting safety and reliability. Instances of double voting, non-citizen voting, and deceased voters are near zero, and states already prune and monitor their own voter rolls effectively.
Adrian Fontes, a VRF endorsed champion, refused to cooperate with the DOJ’s request. Experts have speculated that with these voter rolls, the Trump administration could compel states to expunge hundreds of thousands of legal votes and fabricate evidence of voter fraud to abolish mail-in-voting.
