U.S. District Judge Zahid Quraishi rejected the Department of Justice’s request to obtain New Jersey’s unredacted voter rolls. The DOJ requested the voter rolls last July as the Trump administration continues to try to secure elections. Quraishi agreed with New Jersey’s argument that Title III’s scope “does not extend to New Jersey’s computerized VRL [voter registration list] – a document the State itself created.” Department of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin said that four states had noncitizens on their voter rolls. Sherrill said the DOJ lacks a “legal basis” to request “extensive personal information about thousands of New Jersey residents.”
