The Department of Justice has lost all 15 federal court cases in which it sought to obtain unredacted voter registration data from states — the latest defeats coming Tuesday when judges dismissed lawsuits against Virginia and New Mexico. Federal judges have consistently ruled that the DOJ cannot use broad records requests to conduct what one judge called "fishing expeditions" into sensitive voter information like Social Security numbers and driver's licenses without a clear connection to protecting voting rights. This represents a significant legal setback for the Trump administration's effort to access comprehensive state voter databases.
