司法部以联邦法律为由,就选民数据存取问题起诉华盛顿,而州则维护隐私保护。 
The DOJ sued Washington over voter data access, citing federal law, while the state defends privacy protections.
美国司法部以《帮助美国投票法》和《国家选民登记法》等联邦法律为由,起诉华盛顿州拒绝提供完整的选民登记数据,包括出生日期、地址和社会保障号码最后四位数等敏感信息。 The U.S. Department of Justice has sued Washington State over its refusal to provide full voter registration data, including sensitive information like dates of birth, addresses, and last four digits of Social Security numbers, citing federal laws such as the Help America Vote Act and the National Voter Registration Act. 司法部辩称,这些数据对于核查选民名册准确性和确保遵守联邦选举标准至关重要,并声称联邦法律取代了国家隐私限制。 The DOJ argues the data is essential for verifying voter roll accuracy and ensuring compliance with federal election standards, asserting that federal law supersedes state privacy restrictions. 华盛顿官员,包括国务卿史蒂夫·霍布斯,拒绝了这一请求,援引了保护选民隐私的州法律以及对潜在滥用的关切,特别是在特朗普政府之下。 Washington officials, including Secretary of State Steve Hobbs, have declined the request, citing state laws protecting voter privacy and concerns about potential misuse, particularly under the Trump administration. 州政府说,它尚未正式接受诉讼,也没有收到关于如何使用数据的详细资料。 The state says it has not yet been formally served with the lawsuit and has not received details on how the data would be used. 该案是联邦政府为从多个州获取选民数据所做更广泛努力的一部分,华盛顿是几个州的目标之一。 The case is part of a broader effort by the federal government to obtain voter data from multiple states, with Washington being one of several targeted.
