DOJ sues 18 states for information related to their recent elections because they won’t lawfully provide the data outright.
Federal elections absolutely must comply with election laws. We have seen the opposite in recent U.S. elections. The 2020 Election was the worst.
Books have been written about the astronomical corruption surrounding the 2020 US election, which stole the election from President Trump.
See the following three books for the story behind that election:
The DOJ has requested information related to recent elections from some key states but they will not provide the information requested. This is information that is required by law to maintain but the states won’t provide the information which supposedly supports their reported election results.
The lack of transparency indicates wrongdoing. It always does.
In response to these states withholding pertinent information related to these elections, the DOJ has sued these states.
GROK reports:
As of December 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) under the Trump administration has filed lawsuits against 18 states for refusing to provide complete, unredacted statewide voter registration lists (including sensitive data like driver’s license numbers and partial Social Security numbers). The DOJ claims this is to enforce federal laws on voter roll maintenance and election integrity, while critics argue it raises privacy concerns and targets states lost by Trump in 2020.
The 18 states are:
- California
- Colorado
- Delaware
- Hawaii
- Maryland
- Massachusetts
- Michigan
- Minnesota
- Nevada
- New Hampshire
- New Mexico
- New York
- Oregon
- Pennsylvania
- Rhode Island
- Vermont
- Washington
(Note: Earlier reports mentioned Maine as sued, but recent updates indicate Oregon instead; the total consistently reaches 18 across sources like AP, NPR, and Reuters.)
Additionally, the DOJ has separately sued Fulton County, Georgia, for 2020 election records, but this is not counted among the 18 state-level voter data lawsuits.
These actions stem from demands sent to dozens of states, with lawsuits filed in waves (e.g., September, December 2, and December 12, 2025). States have resisted, citing privacy laws and lack of federal authority for unredacted data.
Look at how the far-left NPR reports on these cases – see items highlighted.
The department has now filed suit against 18 states — mostly Democratic-led, and all states that President Trump lost in the 2020 election — as part of its far-reaching litigation.
For months, the Justice Department has been demanding certain states turn over complete, unredacted copies of their voter registration lists, including any driver’s license numbers and parts of voters’ Social Security numbers.
In court filings, the DOJ says it wants this personal information to check if states are following federal law on keeping accurate voter rolls.
But most states have refused, citing privacy restrictions.
This is nonsense. States in the Union must comply and they won’t. Drastic measures are going to have to take place to protect American voters from fraudulent elections.
These state’s preventing access to their records is a sure sign that something is wrong.
