Courts Block Trump’s Voter Roll Demand

Federal courts keep shutting down the Trump administration’s attempts to seize unredacted voter rolls from states like Maryland, with this being the ninth such ruling — and every single one of 29 requests so far has been tossed out. The administration claimed states were violating federal voter laws by not handing over full lists, but judges say states like Maryland build their own rolls from scratch, so the federal request doesn’t apply. With sensitive info like names, addresses, and Social Security numbers at stake, Maryland’s AG emphasized the right to privacy, and courts agree — updating voter lists in real time makes handing them over practically impossible and legally off-limits. This showdown underscores a growing pattern: states aren’t required to hand over their citizens’ private data to federal authorities, and the courts keep siding with them.
