Virginia’s attorney general says the Department of Homeland Security may have violated several state election laws following a whistleblower report. The report released Monday accused DHS of requiring federal employees to misrepresent themselves on voter lookup tools in a hunt for noncitizen voters. In a letter obtained by The Associated Press, Attorney General Jay Jones demanded that DHS confirm in writing whether it had directed anyone to access Virginia voters’ information without first obtaining permission from those voters. The AP has asked DHS for comment on the letter.
