Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Several civil rights groups are suing the Trump administration to prohibit it from misusing voter information that it seized from Fulton County, Ga., last month.
The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, Georgia Coalition for the People's Agenda, the NAACP and Atlanta and Georgia State Conference branches of the NAACP filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on Sunday.
They seek to block the Trump administration from using the voting records to purge voters from the rolls, improperly disclose information, dox or intimidate voters.
"We have very serious concerns about what the Trump administration could do with the voting records of thousands of people from Fulton County," Robert Weiner, director of the voting rights project at the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, said in a statement.
