United States v. Aguilar
What's at Stake
The Department of Justice (βDOJβ) 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 DOJβs 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 stateβs unredacted voter file, which includes votersβ full names, dates of birth, residential addresses, driverβs license numbers, and the last four digits of votersβ Social Security numbers. DOJ claimsβwithout meritβthat this disclosure is compelled by the Civil Rights Act of 1960.
DOJβs 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 ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ of Nevada, its members, and a registered Nevada voter who is a naturalized citizen. Intervenors are represented by the ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ Voting Rights Project and the ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ of Nevada.
