An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Block Federal Seizure of State Voter Data

33 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

Eighteen states have already handed complete voter files — Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, everything — to the Trump Justice Department. Those states cover 184 electoral college votes and 36 Senate seats. The data is gone. No court order gets it back. Your state needs to hold the line right now, and I need you to make that happen. Courts have pushed back hard. Judge Sparkle Sooknanan ruled the rebuilt SAVE database violated the Privacy Act, the Social Security Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act. Judge Indira Talwani blocked the mail voting order, writing plainly that "the Constitution does not grant the President any specific powers over elections." These are real wins, but they only protect states that fight. The administration is already moving ahead in states that didn't sue. The DOJ has filed 31 federal lawsuits against 30 states plus DC to force data handover. Do not comply, do not negotiate, and do not let grant threats — like the proposed 20% cut to homeland security funding — pressure this state into surrendering voter rolls. The competitive races that decide control of Congress are concentrated exactly where this data grab is focused. Capitulating now doesn't buy peace. It hands over the infrastructure needed to contest or manipulate results. Stand firm and fight every demand in court.
