A Michigan judge blocked the DOJ’s request for unredacted voter data, citing privacy and legal overreach, reinforcing state control over elections.
A federal judge in Michigan dismissed a Justice Department lawsuit seeking access to the state’s unredacted voter rolls, ruling that federal laws cited by the DOJ do not require states to provide detailed voter data.
Judge Hala Jarbou, a Trump appointee, concluded the request exceeded legal authority and raised significant privacy concerns.
The decision marks the latest in a series of court rejections of similar federal efforts, reinforcing state control over election administration and voter privacy.
The DOJ had argued the data was needed for election integrity, but Michigan officials and privacy advocates opposed the request, citing risks of misuse.
The ruling follows similar dismissals in Oregon, California, and Georgia.
The DOJ has not announced whether it will appeal.
