DOJ sued Virginia, seeking the state’s voter rolls, including large amounts of private voter data, such as social security numbers. DOJ’s lawsuit follows a July 2025 letter from DOJ seeking the entire, unredacted Virginia voter roll. DOJ began sending such demands to dozens of states over the summer of 2025, and then began filing rounds of similar lawsuits against states with Democratic administrations in September 2025.

DOJ’s lawsuit appears to be connected to governmental efforts to create a national voter database without congressional authorization, and to question the validity of certain states’ election administration process and voter rolls, and the status of certain voters.

A Virginia voter and Common Cause sought to intervene to defend against this potential violation of voter privacy. The voters and organization are represented by the ACLU.
