Summary

The League of Women Voters, Electronic Privacy Information Center and League of United Latin American Citizens filed a lawsuit in federal court in Washington, D.C., on Thursday alleging the Department of Homeland Security unlawfully collected voter files from at least 47 states and combined them with commercial data, violating federal privacy safeguards. The suit is the latest challenge to the Trump administration's efforts to address noncitizen voting, which studies have found rare.
