Courts Block Trump’s Voter Roll Push | Washington DC News

The Trump administration’s push to seize state voter rolls—packed with sensitive data like birthdays and partial Social Security numbers—is hitting major legal roadblocks, with 21 court losses so far. Judges, from both parties, are siding with states, reminding everyone that elections are the states’ responsibility under the Constitution—and federal law doesn’t compel them to hand over this info. While the administration claims it’s fighting noncitizen voting (a rarity backed by studies), its broader strategy includes restricting mail-in ballots and threatening disaster aid to states resisting federal oversight. The DOJ has sued 20+ states, but resistance is mounting as states warn of potential misuse of data. Courts keep reinforcing state control over elections—and protecting voters’ privacy.
