Multiple states have received requests from the U.S. Department of Justice for state voter roll information. The DOJ says it’s enforcing federal election laws.
Critics call it a dangerous overreach that could erode privacy, weaken security, and blur constitutional boundaries between Washington and the states.
This week on Defending Ideas, host Nic Dunn is joined by Derek Monson of Sutherland Institute and Matt Germer of the R Street Institute to unpack the legal, constitutional, and civic stakes of this growing controversy — and why the balance of power in our election system matters for the future of self-government.
Show notes:
- Utah – and every other state – should protect elections by saying ‘no’ to the Trump DOJ
- Elections Policy — Sutherland Institute
