United States v. Aguilar
What's at Stake
The Department of Justice (“DOJ”) sued Nevada demanding the release of its full, unredacted voter file, which includes the highly sensitive and personal data of every voter in the state. This suit appears to be part of DOJ’s effort to build a national voter database without congressional authorization, improperly question the validity of state voter rolls, and intimidate eligible voters in Nevada and around the country.
Summary
On December 11, 2025, DOJ sued Nevada, seeking release of the state’s unredacted voter file, which includes voters’ full names, dates of birth, residential addresses, driver’s license numbers, and the last four digits of voters’ Social Security numbers. DOJ claims—without merit—that this disclosure is compelled by the Civil Rights Act of 1960.
DOJ’s lawsuit is one of eighteen such suits it has brought recently in an apparent effort to create a national voter database without congressional authorization. Three days after DOJ filed suit, we filed a motion to intervene and accompanying motion to dismiss on behalf of the Ƶ of Nevada, its members, and a registered Nevada voter who is a naturalized citizen. Intervenors are represented by the Ƶ Voting Rights Project and the Ƶ of Nevada.
