DOJ sued New Jersey, seeking the state’s voter rolls, including large amounts of private voter data, such as social security information. DOJ’s lawsuit follows a July 2025 letter from DOJ seeking the entire, unredacted New Jersey voter roll. DOJ began sending such demands to dozens of states over the summer of 2025, and then began filing rounds of similar lawsuits against states with Democratic administrations in September 2025.

DOJ’s lawsuit appears to be connected to governmental efforts to create a national voter database without congressional authorization, and to question the validity of certain states’ election administration process and voter rolls, and the status of certain voters.

The League of Women Voters of New Jersey, Latino Action Network, and an individual New Jersey voter sought to intervene to defend against this potential violation of voter privacy. The voters and organization are represented by the ÌÒ×ÓÊÓƵand the ÌÒ×ÓÊÓƵof New Jersey.
