Overview
- Justice Department documents say a political advocacy group contacted two DOGE members at the Social Security Administration in March 2025 to analyze state voter rolls to hunt for fraud and overturn results.
- One DOGE member, acting as an SSA employee, signed a 'Voter Data Agreement' and sent it to the group on March 24, 2025, outside the agency’s data exchange procedures.
- It remains unclear whether SSA data was transferred to the group, though emails suggest DOGE members could have been asked to match SSA records to voter rolls.
- SSA referred the two employees to the Office of Special Counsel in December 2025 for potential Hatch Act violations related to prohibited political activity.
- The filing also discloses DOGE data sharing through Cloudflare, which is not approved for SSA data, and corrects earlier SSA statements while flagging potential noncompliance with a March 2025 court order; reviews and litigation are ongoing.
