The Justice Department disclosed in a Rhode Island court Thursday that it plans to share voter registration data obtained from states with the Department of Homeland Security to cross-reference against a citizenship verification system. The revelation came during litigation in which the DOJ has sued more than two dozen states for refusing to provide sensitive voter data, with voting rights advocates arguing the plan raises Privacy Act concerns and could disenfranchise eligible voters.
