Judge Smacks Down Trump’s Attempt to Get Maryland’s Voter Rolls

A federal judge rejected the Department of Justice lawsuit attempting to obtain voter registration data from Maryland. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher ruled that statewide voter registration lists are not records that states must produce under the CRA. This decision marks the ninth court failure for President Donald Trump in his effort to acquire voter data from various states. The DOJ's attempts to utilize this information for immigration crackdowns have not prevailed in any single legal case so far.
