- Federal judge denies U.S. DOJ attempt to obtain Wisconsin voter data
A federal judge denied the U.S. Department of Justice's request for Wisconsin's unredacted voter rolls, citing privacy laws and the Civil Rights Act. The ruling blocks the Trump administration's effort to obtain sensitive voter data from swing states, with similar lawsuits dismissed in eight other courts. The Wisconsin Elections Commission had already rejected the DOJ's request, directing it to publicly available redacted data.
