Judge Blocks DOJ’s Voter Data Request | US News

Federal judge blocks Justice Department’s attempt to seize New Hampshire’s voter registration data, ruling the request violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and lacks proof of wrongdoing under the Help America Vote Act. The decision joins a growing list of state victories against federal data grabs — this is the tenth state to deny the DOJ access. Officials warn the move threatens voter privacy, while at least thirteen states remain cooperative. The DOJ insists it needs the detailed records to enforce federal election laws, but judges say they can’t just demand unrestricted access without clear evidence of violations.
