Federal Judge Dismisses DOJs Voter Roll Lawsuit Against Massachusetts

A federal judge has dismissed the Department of Justices lawsuit against Massachusetts over voter rolls, citing a procedural failure under Title III of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The DOJ, under former Attorney General Pam Bondi, sought unredacted voter lists to check state compliance with federal election laws, but Massachusetts Secretary William Galvin refused. Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell hailed the decision as a victory for voters and the rule of law, emphasizing privacy protections. This ruling aligns with a trend in Trumps second term, where judges in several states have blocked similar DOJ moves. Appeals are pending, so the outcome may still change, but for now, states maintain control over sharing voter data.
