Common Cause v. Department of Justice
Case Overview
Common Cause sued the Department of Justice over its attempt to gain access to unredacted statewide voter registration lists from nearly every state and Washington, D.C.
The Application
The DOJ sought unredacted voter rolls from nearly every state and D.C., asserting authority to access comprehensive personal voter data. Common Cause challenges this action as exceeding the DOJ's statutory mandate, violating privacy protections, and encroaching on state sovereignty over election administration.
The Conclusion
The case remains active in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia before Judge Sooknanan with no final ruling yet issued; the litigation addresses the scope of federal agency authority over state-administered voter registration systems.
