Court Blocks Trump Admin’s Voter Data Push

The Trump administration’s push to access Michigan’s voter rolls—requesting sensitive data like partial SSNs and driver’s license numbers—hit a legal wall. An appeals court sided with Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, ruling federal law doesn’t authorize such broad data grabs. This marks another victory for Benson, who insists Michigan’s rolls are clean and compliant with the law, while the administration’s claims of widespread fraud lack evidence. The Justice Department hasn’t confirmed whether it will appeal to the Supreme Court, following similar defeats in other states. Judges stressed that while states manage elections, federal law doesn’t permit federal agencies to override privacy protections or force officials into legal conflicts.
