Feds Lose Voter File Battle in New Hampshire | Concord News

A federal court just blocked the Justice Department’s attempt to seize New Hampshire’s entire voter file, ruling the feds lacked sufficient legal grounds to demand such sensitive, private data—even though they claimed it was for election security. This marks another victory for states resisting federal overreach, as courts across the country have already sided with states in similar cases. The ACLU calls these rulings a clear rebuke to federal overreach, emphasizing that elections are state responsibilities and that voter data must be protected under state law. The DOJ’s vague claims—including potential use for immigration enforcement—only heightened privacy concerns. With no specific evidence of voter roll problems, the court sided with New Hampshire, affirming state control over election data and shielding voters’ personal information from unwarranted federal intrusion.
