Georgia Senate urges the Secretary of State to immediately comply with the U.S. Department of Justice request to securely provide Georgia's full voter registration list

The DOJ filed suit against Georgia's Secretary of State in federal court after multiple refusals to provide the voter registration data, citing the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), Help America Vote Act (HAVA), and Civil Rights Act of 1960

President Trump's March 25, 2025 executive order "Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections" directed the Attorney General to ensure state compliance with voter roll maintenance requirements

Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee voluntarily provided their registration lists, while Georgia joined states like Colorado, Delaware, and Maryland in refusing the DOJ request

The resolution characterizes the Secretary of State's refusal as part of a pattern of obstructing oversight, including refusing to appear before Senate committees and obstructing the Georgia State Election Board
