Attorney General Raoul Statement On Court Win To Protect Voter Data
The ruling follows a string of defeats as courts say the Justice Department lacks authority to demand unredacted voter data from states.
- On Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Philip Brimmer dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Trump Administration seeking access to Colorado's sensitive voter data, marking the administration's 20th consecutive legal loss.
- The Department of Justice has sued numerous states to obtain unredacted voter records including driver's license numbers and partial Social Security data; while at least 16 Republican-led states voluntarily complied, federal courts have consistently rejected such attempts.
- Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold defended the state's refusal, noting Colorado already provided public voter files. She stated, "Today's victory affirms that Trump's DOJ has no right to Coloradans' sensitive voter information."
- Following the Colorado decision, U.S. District Judge Kymberly Evanson heard arguments Tuesday in a similar lawsuit against Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs and expects to issue a ruling soon.
- Critics characterize these lawsuits as efforts to nationalize elections and target vulnerable communities, while courts have denounced the DOJ's "illegitimate attempts" to usurp states' control over voter data.
