Minnesota's four Republican members of Congress are supporting new legislation designed to force the state's election officials to turn over private voter data to the Trump administration, withholding federal funding if it doesn't.

Rep. Pete Stauber introduced the Minnesota Voter Integrity Act of 2026 in the U.S. House on Monday, with Reps. Tom Emmer, Brad Finstad, and Michelle Fischbach as co-sponsors.

If passed, the bill would allow the Trump administration to withhold federal election funding from Minnesota until the state shares voter information requested by the U.S. Department of Justice.

The Trump administration is suing election officials in Minnesota and at least 19 other states who have refused to provide voter roll information, including the full names, dates of birth, residential addresses and driver’s license numbers of voters.
