Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford asked a federal judge Wednesday to dismiss a Trump administration lawsuit that is trying to force Nevada to release an unredacted voter roll list to the federal government.
Department of Justice lawyers said the U.S. attorney general has sweeping powers to obtain the records, according to the original complaint.
But Nevada law says voter registration lists cannot include sensitive data deemed confidential, such as Social Security, driver’s license or identification card numbers.
The Nevada attorney general’s office said they doubt the DOJ’s purpose for the data in a separate motion arguing against a possible court order to compel the data’s release.
