Federal judge denies effort by Trump administration to get New Hampshire’s detailed voter data
- On Monday, U.S. District Judge Joseph Laplante dismissed the Justice Department's lawsuit seeking New Hampshire's full voter registration database, ruling the request violated the Civil Rights Act of 1960 and Help America Vote Act of 2002.
- The Trump administration demanded access to verify voter roll maintenance, but Laplante ruled the state's voter list is a 'continuously maintained, state-generated compilation' that cannot be produced on demand under federal law.
- Monday's decision marks the 11th consecutive loss for the DOJ, which sued 30 states and Washington, D.C., seeking unredacted voter lists containing sensitive personal data including partial Social Security numbers.
- New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan welcomed the ruling, saying, 'Today's court order affirms that I fulfilled that commitment by upholding New Hampshire law and safeguarding your private information from disclosure.'
- Courts in at least nine other states have similarly dismissed these lawsuits, while a federal appeals court last week ruled the department lacks authority under the CRA to require Michigan to produce its unredacted database.
