WASHINGTON, D.C. – In response to the U.S. Department of Justice suing Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Washington, D.C. for voter rolls today, bringing the total to 21 states, including five states where All Voting is Local advocates for voters and supports state and local officials in adopting pro-voter policies and practices, All Voting is Local released the following statement:
“The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) lawsuits against states protecting voters and refusing to hand over sensitive information are an abuse of power and an attempt to interfere in our elections at the behest of the Trump administration. They are also part of a relentless, multi-pronged threat to voters’ privacy and the freedom to vote. American voters will face these harms, and state election officials should rightly sound the alarm and hold the line against any effort to silence voters for political vendettas.”
