Justice Dept Fails to Get Voter Lists | Virginia Beach News

The Justice Department’s bid to audit New Hampshire’s voter rolls hit a legal wall, as a federal judge ruled the request violated privacy protections under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and failed to show any violations of the Help America Vote Act. This marks the tenth state to block such a request, with judges in Arizona, California, and Michigan also saying no. While federal officials argue the move is essential to ensure election integrity, state officials — across party lines — warn it breaches privacy laws and undermines state autonomy. Even more controversy erupted when a Justice Department lawyer admitted they wanted unredacted rolls shared with Homeland Security for citizenship checks. Despite this resistance, 13 other states have granted access, highlighting a fractured national response to these sweeping federal demands.
