DOJ says it needs this information to verify Nevada is properly maintaining its voter rolls under federal law. “Accurate voter rolls are the foundation of free and fair elections,” she said when announcing similar lawsuits against other states. When officials who fight every election security reform suddenly claim they’re protecting voter privacy, it’s hard not to see it as just another excuse. If they truly cared about maintaining clean, accurate voter rolls, they’d be working with the federal government rather than reflexively opposing it. They want to verify that Nevada is doing what federal law requires: keeping voter rolls up to date and removing ineligible voters.
