The department's Civil Rights Division reported that several states have already provided voter roll information or agreed to share records, while others are involved in legal disputes regarding the release of the data. The review is investigating how voter registration lists are maintained, including the removal of outdated records and compliance with federal election laws. "We want every American citizen to feel confident in voting and feel confident in the outcome of that election, and that is why we're undertaking this massive project," Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon stated. "We're finding tens of thousands of noncitizens on the voter rolls, hundreds of thousands of dead people on the voter rolls, and duplicate registrations between states." |
