DHS Tells New AG DOJ Sat On Zuckerberg Voter-Data Referral A Year
The letter names Social Security and driver's license numbers among the data CEIR received, citing the Driver's Privacy Protection Act.
- September 2025: DHS first raised CEIR's data sharing with DOJ, a year before this letter.
- February 2026: a Washington resident found ballots and 550 ERIC postcards dumped at one mailbox address.
- Pennsylvania's 2020 CEIR grant required the state hand over data "as CEIR reasonably requests."
Why it matters: A privacy referral idle a year shows the law meant to guard voter rolls answers to no one.
