The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) is suing 30 states and Washington D.C. to get full voter registration lists, including private details like driver’s license and partial social security numbers. Some strongly Republican states, such as Utah, West Virginia, Georgia, Kentucky, and Idaho, are resisting, citing state laws and privacy concerns.
Key Facts
The DoJ has sued 30 states and Washington D.C. for not fully sharing voter registration data as of April 1.
States like California, Massachusetts, Oregon, Rhode Island, Arizona, and Michigan have already legally blocked the DoJ’s requests.
Republican-led states Utah, West Virginia, Georgia, Kentucky, and Idaho have also refused to provide the voter data.
These states argue that election management is their constitutional right and worry about privacy and data security.
The requested data includes sensitive information such as driver’s license numbers and part of social security numbers.
The DoJ plans to share the data with the Department of Homeland Security to check citizenship using an error-prone database called SaveA.
The push for this data follows President Trump’s claims of election fraud, although these claims have been disproved.
Voting rights groups have sued the administration, saying the data requests could lead to removing legitimate voters before the 2026 election.

The Trump administration argues that the 60-day deadline to get Congress’s approval for the US-Israel conflict with Iran is paused because of a fragile ceasefire. Some lawmakers and legal experts disagree, saying the law does not allow pausing once the deadline starts.
Key Facts
The War Powers Resolution requires the president to get congressional approval within 60 days after notifying them of war or to withdraw forces.
President Trump notified Congress on March 2 about the US-Israel war on Iran, making the deadline May 1.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the ceasefire since April 8 stopped or paused the 60-day clock.
The ceasefire is fragile, with no direct attacks after April 7, but Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz and the US continues a naval blockade.
Democratic lawmakers and some legal experts say the ceasefire does not pause the War Powers deadline.
Some Trump administration officials propose starting a new military operation under a different name to reset the deadline.
The dispute hinges on how “hostilities” are defined under the War Powers Resolution law.
The law aims to limit how long the president can engage in war without Congress’s consent.
