Elon Musk’s DOGE took millions of Americans’ private Social Security records and handed access to election deniers. Congress needs to make sure it never happens again.

The Department of Justice has now admitted that the Department of Government Efficiency gained sweeping access to addresses, birthdates, and identifiers that can be weaponized to target voters, suppress turnout, or erode trust in elections. DOGE’s access came as Trump and his allies escalated attacks on mail-in voting and independent federal agencies. That context matters.

This was a power grab designed to undermine our democracy using our private data. And Congress can’t look away.

Tell Congress to investigate DOGE’s efforts to access and share our private Social Security data with election deniers. Demand that all who participated in the scheme are held accountable, and make sure this never happens again.

DOGE was created by executive order, shielded from transparency, and staffed with political loyalists. Reports show its operatives bypassed standard clearance procedures and ignored internal warnings to gain and share “unprecedented” access to our data with no guardrails. DOGE staffers engaged in prohibited political activity while embedded inside a nonpartisan agency in violation of the Hatch Act.

This is how elections are undermined from inside the government.

Congress must act now — not only to expose what happened, but to ensure it can never happen again. The House Oversight Committee and the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee must launch a full investigation, subpoena DOGE leadership, and lock in safeguards so no future administration can abuse federal data to rig the system.

Send your letter and demand Congress investigate DOGE. Defend our democracy — and make sure this never happens again.
