Federal Judge Rules Against Trump Admin Efforts to Verify Arizona Voter Data
A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that the Trump administration cannot obtain Arizona’s voter registration list as the administration seeks to ensure election integrity across the nation.
Judge Susan Brnovich of the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona on Tuesday said that the state’s voter registration list is not subject to requests from the U.S. Attorney General.
Brnovich, a Trump appointed-judge, dismissed the case with prejudice because an amended complaint would be “legally futile.”
The dismissal follows after after judges have ruled against the Justice Department’s attempted to obtain at least 30 states and the District of Columbia’s constituents date of birth, address, driver’s license numbers, and partial Social Security numbers.
The Trump administration seeks the data to ensure states are complying with federal election laws and to check the citizenship status of individuals on the voter rolls. (Read more from “Federal Judge Rules Against Trump Admin Efforts to Verify Arizona Voter Data” HERE)
