Multiple sources confirm the DOJ subpoenaed Nevada's Secretary of State's office for voter information, with seven subpoenas delivered between June and early September 2026. Sources differ on the exact scope of what was requested, but none contradict the core claim.
What was said
… again try to put his thumb on the scale, but also we all should be worried about what they're doing with this information, especially when we know that, ah, people, immigrant families, or, like, mixed families, are being targeted by the Trump administration. The DOJ actually just subpoenaed the state of Nevada for their voter rolls, and so I think we're gonna see that happen in a couple more states leading up to the midterm elections, where the DOJ is demanding that they hand over the personal information of voters. …

Supports. Reuters reports, based on a public records request, that the Justice Department delivered seven subpoenas to Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar's office between June 16 and September 2, seeking voter data.[1]
Supports. CNN reports that Aguilar's office said it received seven voter-related DOJ subpoenas from the FBI over the prior three months, and that the Justice Department sought voter information from the state.[2][3]
Supports. The Washington Examiner and KNPR both report the Nevada Secretary of State's office confirmed receiving seven voter-related DOJ subpoenas, published before the claim was posted on 2026-09-12.[4][5]
Context. CNN notes the specifics of what information the subpoenas requested remain unclear, so the 'voter rolls' wording is a reasonable but not fully detailed description of the demand.[3]
Context. Democracy Docket later describes the subpoenas as part of a broader DOJ effort, including a separate suit for Nevada's unredacted voter rolls that a federal court rejected.[6]
