Overview
- The filing says an advocacy group contacted two DOGE staffers in March 2025 to analyze state voter rolls to find fraud and overturn election results, and one sent an executed “Voter Data Agreement” on March 24.
- Justice Department officials say it remains unknown whether any SSA data were shared with the group, though emails indicate DOGE members could have been asked to match SSA records to voter rolls.
- SSA referred both employees to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel in late December 2025 for potential Hatch Act violations for using official roles in a political effort.
- SSA discovered the agreement during an unrelated internal review in November 2025, leading the government to file corrections to earlier SSA testimony in ongoing litigation over DOGE’s access to agency data.
- The filing reports DOGE members used unapproved Cloudflare links to share SSA data between March 7 and 17, 2025, and the agency cannot determine what was shared or whether it remains on the server, with reviews continuing.
