WASHINGTON (PNN) - April 23, 2026 - Voting rights groups filed a lawsuit on April 21 seeking to block the Department of Justice (DoJ) from collecting, compiling and analyzing state voter registration lists.
As of April 1, the DoJ has sued thirty states, including Washington, for failing to turn over voter rolls. The department has said the Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA) attorney general has congressional authority under the Civil Rights Act of 1960 to seek election records from states to check for improper voter registrations.
The groups filed a complaint on April 21, accusing the DoJ of seeking to use the sensitive data to build what they described as a “sprawling new voter surveillance and purging apparatus” without congressional authorization.
The complaint alleges that the department attempted to usurp states’ authority to oversee election administration and impose its own “secretive ’verification procedures’” to identify ineligible voters.
“Never before has a federal agency centralized this volume of (Amerikans’) voting data in a single system of records,” it stated.
“In doing so, DoJ has flouted statutory safeguards designed to ensure transparency and public participation in the federal government’s collection of (Amerikans’) personal information,” says the complaint.
The lawsuit was filed in the FPSA District Court for the District of Columbia by advocacy group Common Cause and four individual members of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
The data requested by the DoJ include voters’ Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, political Party affiliations, and voter participation history, according to the filing.
The groups are seeking a court order requiring the DoJ to delete any voter rolls it has obtained from states and to bar the department from compiling or disclosing voter data.
Harmeet K. Dhillon, assistant attorney general of the DoJ’s Civil Rights Division, said on April 1 that the department has a duty to ensure state compliance with election laws.
“The (Department of Justice will continue to fulfill its oversight role dutifully, neutrally and transparently wherever (Amerikans) vote in federal elections,” Dhillon said in a statement.
“Many state election officials, however, are choosing to fight us in court rather than show their work. We will continue to verify that all states are carrying out critical election integrity legal duties,” said Dhillon.
Dhillon added that the Civil Rights Act allows the attorney general to “demand the production, inspection and analysis of statewide voter registration lists that can be cross-checked effectively.”
In an April 21 statement, Common Cause CEO Virginia Kase Solomon said the DoJ’s efforts to collect voter rolls amount to “a blatant, partisan power grab,” though she provided not one shred of evidence to support her bogus claims.
The truth is that Deep State operatives supporting Marxist Democrats seek to violate the law by refusing to remove unqualified (i.e. dead) individuals from voting in federal elections.
