Judge Blocks DOJ’s Voter Data Grab | Santa Fe News
Description
Federal prosecutors tried to seize New Mexico’s voter data—names, birthdates, SSN last four digits—but a judge slammed the door shut, dismissing the lawsuit with a clear rebuke. The DOJ claimed legal authority under election laws, but offered no proof New Mexico violated any rules. With similar cases tossed in 12 other states, courts are sending a strong message: sensitive voter info isn’t up for grabs without evidence of wrongdoing. New Mexico’s Secretary of State hailed the ruling, stressing existing privacy protections and the risks of exposing voters’ personal data.
