Illinois election officials are weighing whether to comply with a demand from Republican President Donald Trumps Department of Justice to turn over by Sept. 1 the states full voter registration list, including voters birth dates, drivers license numbers, signatures and partial Social Security numbers.
The Labor Day deadline, sent to Illinois State Board of Elections officials via email Thursday, marks an escalation of a conflict thats been brewing between state and federal officials since the Civil Rights Division of Trumps Justice Department in late July requested the voter data and a laundry list of other information on Illinois elections and voters.
The push for disclosure of Illinois voters sensitive personal information is part of a broader effort from the Trump administration to exert federal authority over state-run elections, including shifting the Civil Rights Divisions focus from ensuring access to the polls to combating the specter of voter fraud. Several other states, including neighboring Wisconsin, have received similar data requests this summer, while the Justice Department in recent months has filed lawsuits against election officials in North Carolina and Orange County, California, over issues related to their voter rolls.
A spokesman for the Illinois board said election officials intend to respond to the Justice Departments latest demand by Sept. 2, the day after the Labor Day holiday.
During Trumps first term, a so-called election integrity commission he established made a similar request, but the board never turned over the data.
