Nevada election chief reports seven DOJ subpoenas

Nevada election officials Justice Department subpoenas voter registration lists election integrity voter rights

Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar reported that his office has received seven voter-related subpoenas from the Department of Justice over the last three months. Aguilar characterized the requests as part of an effort by the federal administration to inundate election offices with investigations and questions ahead of the November election.

The subpoenas, which the office identified as originating from the FBI, do not specify which records are being sought. This development follows a recent legal defeat for the DOJ, when a U.S. District Judge ruled that Nevada was not required to provide its unredacted statewide voter-registration list under the Civil Rights Act of 1960. The Department of Justice has appealed that decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.
