DOJ Acknowledges DHS Used Social Security Data in Voter-Roll Searches
TL;DR Summary
The DOJ told a federal judge that DHS reactivated a link to SSA data to verify whether illegal voting occurred, using SSA information to probe voter rolls amid whistleblower allegations. The filing partly confirms the claims and argues the actions did not violate the injunction governing SAVE, which LWV and EPIC are challenging as unconstitutional and privacy-invasive; the lawsuits over DHS’s expansion of SAVE and its potential national voter lists continue.
