Courts Block Justice Dept’s Voter Data Push

A federal judge in Maryland just dealt a major blow to the Justice Department’s push for detailed voter data, tossing out their lawsuit and joining nine other states where similar requests have been blocked. With courts in California, Michigan, and Wisconsin already siding with states, the ruling underscores growing resistance to broad federal data grabs — even as the Justice Department claims it’s needed to enforce election laws. Compounding the issue, a separate Homeland Security program using voter data to verify citizenship was recently shut down for violating privacy rights and wrongly flagging eligible voters. While some states still cooperate, this latest setback signals that access to sensitive voter records remains fiercely protected — and privacy concerns are winning out in court.
