DOJ sues Minnesota for full voter rolls
The U.S. Department of Justice filed a Sept. 25, 2025 complaint against Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon seeking the state’s full voter registration list for active and inactive voters and documentation of audits/removals of ineligible registrants. The request includes fields such as full name, date of birth, residential address, and either a driver’s license number or the last four digits of a Social Security number; Minnesota previously refused, citing sensitive PII and limits on federal entitlement to the data. Minnesota’s case is part of a broader DOJ effort, with coordinated lawsuits filed against six states that declined to share voter data.
