DOJ lawyer Eric Neff mislead a court about voter roll data collection, initially claiming no analysis had begun, but later admitted the DOJ was pooling and analyzing data from multiple states to identify "duplicate and deceased" voters. This confirms fears that Trump's administration is using sensitive voter information—including Social Security numbers and addresses—to attack elections ahead of midterms.
