Wait, what? Texas did what? Tell us what exactly is going on here. Yeah, so the Justice Department is part of what they say is their effort that voter rolls are being properly maintained, that ineligible voters are being taken out. They have asked all 50 states to turn over their voter roll. >> So why did the Department of Justice ask for voter data in the first place? The DOJ says voter data helps enforce federal election laws, including protections against discrimination and improper voter removals. According to the DOJ, the data is used to identify patterns that could signal violations, not for political purposes. Critics argue the issue isn't oversight. It's how broad the request was and what limits apply once the data is shared. The purpose may be clear, the safeguards, less so. Fin blue lies, baby. [Music]
