Federal Judge Dismisses Multiple DOJ Lawsuits Seeking Massachusetts Voter Data
A federal judge has dismissed several lawsuits filed by the Department of Justice under the Trump administration that sought access to voter data in Massachusetts. These rulings mark a significant setback for the DOJ, which has now failed to win four consecutive cases attempting to obtain voter roll information. In the latest decision, the judge argued that the DOJ had no legitimate reason to demand this data and highlighted the victories of organizations like the NAACP in protecting voter privacy. The string of dismissals underscores a broader trend of judicial rejection of attempts to question the integrity of state voting processes.
