- Complaint filed: Common Cause v. U.S. Department of Justice (D.D.C. 1:26-cv-01352) — Common Cause, the Common Cause Education Fund, and four individual registered voters in Texas and Nebraska filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia challenging the Justice Department's policy of demanding unredacted statewide voter registration lists from nearly every state and the District of Columbia for compilation in a national voter registration system. The complaint alleges that the policy, issued pursuant to President Trump's March 25, 2025 Executive Order 14248, exceeds DOJ's statutory authority, violates the Elections Clause and Voter Qualifications Clause, and breaches the Privacy Act and Paperwork Reduction Act. Plaintiffs seek declaratory relief, vacatur, injunctive relief halting DOJ's data compilation and disclosure, and an order requiring deletion of already-collected data.
