A federal judge in Georgia has dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Trump Justice Department (DOJ) seeking access to Georgia voters' Social Security numbers, driver's license information, and other private data. U.S. District Judge Victoria Marie Calvert ruled that the Civil Rights Act of 1960 does not override Georgia's state laws protecting voter privacy. The DOJ had demanded the unredacted voter registration list in July 2025, claiming it needed the data to verify citizenship status through the Department of Homeland Security's SAVE database. Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's office, however, provided a redacted version of the list, removing sensitive information as required by state law. The DOJ then sued under Title III of the Civil Rights Act, arguing federal law should take precedence. Judge Calvert rejected this argument, stating that the Civil Rights Act does not explicitly mention or preempt state privacy laws. She also noted that Georgia had already provided sufficient records for voter roll maintenance without requiring the disclosure of private identifiers. The judge emphasized that Georgia's law allows federal agencies to access confidential voter data under strict confidentiality conditions, but the DOJ had refused to commit to keeping the information confidential. The ruling highlights the ongoing tension between federal and state authorities over data privacy and voter information, particularly in the context of election integrity efforts. This case underscores the importance of balancing federal oversight with state privacy protections in the management of voter records. The decision is significant for future cases involving similar disputes between state and federal governments regarding the handling of sensitive personal information.
