articleThe Brief President Donald Trump and his administration’s 21 court losses are connected to their attempts to gain voter rolls from states. The Department of Justice has sued multiple states for voter data that contains sensitive information and the federal agency has lost appeal decisions in court. A judge ruled that states do not have to share their records with the federal government, dealing the Trump administration a 21st consecutive court loss tied to their efforts to obtain voter rolls. Reuters reported judges determined that the Constitution gives states responsibility for running federal elections and that federal voting laws don’t require state officials to furnish the records. Last year, approximately 10 Democratic secretaries of state requested that the Trump administration provide more information about its attempts to gain statewide voter registration lists.
