Bondi Push for Voter Rolls Sparks Privacy and Legal Doubts
TL;DR Summary
Attorney General Pam Bondi pressed Minnesota to hand over full voter registration rolls to the DOJ as part of a broader federal effort to scrape and scrub voter rolls amid tensions over immigration enforcement. The move has provoked privacy concerns, political backlash, and legal challenges, with courts doubting the DOJ’s legal basis and several states resisting disclosure; the dispute also ties to an expanded SAVE program intended to flag potential noncitizens, raising fears of eligible voters being purge‑purged or wrongly targeted.
