DOJ Keeps Escalating Its Attempts to Get Ahold of States' Voter Rolls
DOJ Keeps Escalating Its Attempts to Get Ahold of States’ Voter Rolls - TPMA series of attempts by Trump’s Justice Department to access voter roll information is prompting increasing alarm from election administrators, who warn that the federal government may be laying the groundwork to attempt to strongarm states over how they conduct their elections.
The latest salvo came earlier this month, when the administration sued eight states for not complying with earlier, unprecedented DOJ requests to hand over sensitive voting information.
It’s the latest of the administration’s various brazen attempts to perpetuate false narratives about the country’s election system, and, experts fear, it may lay the groundwork for an effort to interfere in the midterm elections.
