Federal Judge Blocks DOJ From Accessing State Voter Rolls

“A federal judge has blocked the Justice Department from accessing state voter rolls to find noncitizen voters and bar them from casting ballots,” the Washington Sun reports.

“Shortly after President Donald Trump authorized the attorney general to contact states for information on suspected election law violations in March 2025, the DOJ began requesting complete and unredacted copies of states’ computerized voter registration lists. The department has filed dozens of lawsuits in attempts to compel enforcement — all of which have been blocked or dismissed by other district courts so far, with a handful of decisions outstanding.”
