The U.S. Department of Justice announced Sept. 25 that they were suing six states, including California, for not providing voter roll information it had previously requested.

California, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, and Pennsylvania are being sued by the DOJ, claiming that the states are violating civil rights and national voter registration laws, USA Today previously reported .

The Democrat-led and swing states join the likes of Oregon and Maine, which the DOJ sued earlier in the month.

The department requested copies of voter rolls with nonpublic information, such as partial Social Security numbers, from dozens of states. The move comes after President Trump's March executive order alleging that prior administrations failed to keep noncitizens off the voter rolls.
