U.S. Department of Justice Intensifies Scrutiny of Election Data Across States
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has ramped up its investigation into state management of voter rolls and election data, targeting multiple states with broad requests for access to voter registration information. Reports indicate that the Trump administration has been influential in pushing for these inquiries, with a particular focus on Pennsylvania and Minnesota, where officials are being pressed for details on how they manage voter rolls. Additionally, the DOJ is reportedly exploring the possibility of criminal charges against election officials amid rising tensions related to allegations of voter fraud. This move is part of an ongoing effort to monitor compliance with federal election laws and to address claims made by the Trump administration regarding election integrity.
