From AP News.com: Justice Department sues 4 more states for access to detailed voter data
The U.S. Justice Department is suing four more states as part of its effort to collect detailed voting data and other election information across the country. The lawsuits against Colorado, Hawaii, Massachusetts and Nevada were filed in federal court on Thursday. So far, 18 states and one county in Georgia have been sued as part of the department's widespread efforts. The department is asking for data including full names, birth dates, addresses, driver's license numbers and partial Social Security numbers. The lawsuits have raised concerns among some Democratic public officials who question exactly how the data will be used and whether the department will follow privacy laws to protect the information.
