DOJ's voter roll crusade hits a courthouse wall

Federal judges have repeatedly rejected the Justice Department's attempts to obtain sensitive voter information, including cases in Colorado, California, and Rhode Island. The DOJ has sued 30 states and D.C. to access voter records under the Civil Rights Act of 1960, but judges have ruled the department lacks authority for such demands. Over 20 cases have dismissed the DOJ's claims, with some judges calling the requests 'unprecedented and illegal.'
