United States v. Aguilar, Nevada Secretary of State

The Trump administration sues the state of Nevada for its refusal to give sensitive voter information to the federal government.

On December 12, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the state of Nevada alleging that the state has failed to provide information about voter list maintenance procedures and electronic copies of statewide voter rolls. The lawsuit alleges that Nevada and its Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar violated the Civil Rights Act of 1960 by refusing to produce a current unredacted electronic copy of the state’s voter registration list. Secretary Aguilar expressed concerns over the rights and privacy of the citizens of Nevada after the Department of Justice demanded unredacted voter list data, which would contain personally identifiable information, such as partial Social Security numbers.
