Federal Judge Rules Trump Administration Can't Access Colorado's Unredacted Voter Rolls
The dismissal gives the Justice Department its 20th consecutive loss in voter-data fights and bars the case from being refiled.
- On Monday, U.S. District Judge Philip Brimmer dismissed the Justice Department lawsuit against Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, ruling the agency lacked legal authority to compel release of unredacted voter records.
- Seeking unredacted voter data including Social Security digits and driver's license numbers, the administration argued the Civil Rights Act gave the attorney general "sweeping power" to obtain such records for election security.
- Secretary Griswold refused the request citing privacy and security concerns, marking the 20th time a judge has rebuked the Justice Department in its campaign against states declining to share voter information.
- Dismissing the case with prejudice, Brimmer solidified a losing streak for the federal government, which has sued 30 states for refusing to comply; Griswold called the ruling "one more victory" against federal election control attempts.
- Beyond these lawsuits, the administration continues pressing to restrict mail-in voting and promote the SAVE America Act, while officials also pursued voter files via ICE investigations and FBI requests for online registration IP addresses.
