A federal judge tossed out the Department of Justiceās (DOJ) lawsuit to access West Virginiaās unredacted voter rolls, which marks 13 straight court losses for the departmentās floundering effort to seize sensitive voter data from every state.
U.S. District Judge Thomas E. Johnston, who was appointed by former president George W. Bush, granted West Virginiaās motion to dismiss DOJās lawsuit Monday. In a scathing order, Johnston found the department failed to make a sufficient legal argument for its demand of sensitive voter data.
President Donald Trumpās DOJ is on an impressive losing streak in its voter roll lawsuits. On Friday, a federal judge tossed DOJās lawsuit seeking New Yorkās unredacted voter roll for the same reasons that Johnston dismissed the West Virginia lawsuit. Last month, DOJ scored its first appeals court loss when a three-judge panel for the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower courtās dismissal of the DOJās Michigan lawsuit. But Civil Rights Division chief Harmeet Dhillon, seemingly unfazed from losing, asked for a rehearing before the full Sixth Circuit.
MAGA doesnāt care about election integrity. Theyāre upset they lost. Have you seen those āIād rather be Russian than a democratā shirts? Itās not about any kind of integrity, itās about hating dems. They donāt think Trump and his admin are bad so they donāt see a problem with them having voter rolls. āDaddyās homeā in their minds and daddy can have and do whatever he wants. Standing in his way is the issue.
Affordability is potentially the best winning strategy at the moment.
