Attorney General Todd Blanche says the DOJ may take states’ voter roll fight to Supreme Court
Blanche said the Justice Department may seek Supreme Court review after losing 22 cases over access to state voter rolls.
- On Sunday, Attorney General Todd Blanche said there is a "possibility" the Justice Department will appeal 22 cases to the Supreme Court after judges blocked federal efforts to access state voter rolls ahead of November's midterm elections.
- President Donald Trump's executive order required states to provide voter roll data to investigate "deficiencies" or "anomalies," prompting the Justice Department to sue 30 states that refused to comply.
- Republican-Led states including Vermont, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Georgia are resisting; Vermont GOP Gov. Phil Scott told "Meet the Press" last month that state leaders are better positioned to manage elections.
- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries criticized the Justice Department as a "subsidiary of the Trump cartel," but Blanche responded Sunday, stating, "I will act with integrity" and promising to prosecute without fear or favor.
- The Senate confirmed Blanche earlier this month after negotiations with Senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn over a nearly $2 billion "anti-weaponization" fund addressing concerns about potential Justice Department retaliation.
