Federal judge dismisses DOJ lawsuit against Arizona seeking voter data
The judge said the statewide voter registration list is not covered by the federal law, deepening setbacks for the Trump administration's voter data demands.
- On Tuesday, District Judge Susan Brnovich dismissed a Department of Justice lawsuit seeking Arizona's detailed voter registration records, writing the state's voter list is "not a document subject to request by the Attorney General."
- In January, the Department of Justice sued Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, demanding access to the statewide voter registration list under the 1960 Civil Rights Act to ensure state compliance with federal election laws.
- Fontes and other officials argue the DOJ's demand for voters' full names, dates of birth, residential addresses, and partial Social Security numbers violates privacy laws and constitutes an illegal intrusion into voter safety.
- This ruling marks the latest legal setback for The Trump administration, which has sued at least 30 states seeking similar voter data, with judges previously rejecting DOJ attempts in Rhode Island, California, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Oregon.
- While at least 13 states have promised to provide their voter lists, Justice Department attorneys have acknowledged they seek this information to share with the Department of Homeland Security to verify voter citizenship status.
