The Democratic National Committee (DNC) sent warning letters to election officials in 10 states on Jan. 9, saying that proposed agreements with the Justice Department (DOJ) to share unredacted voter registration files and act on list maintenance concerns could violate federal election law.
The letters went to election offices in Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah. In each, the DNC said the DOJ has indicated that the state had entered or could soon enter a memorandum of understanding that “appears to require violations” of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).
