WASHINGTON, DC – The Justice Department filed lawsuits Thursday against six states, accusing them of failing to provide complete voter registration records as required under federal election laws.
The suits target California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania, alleging that officials in those states did not produce their statewide voter registration lists when requested by federal authorities.
“Clean voter rolls are the foundation of free and fair elections,” Attorney General Pamela Bondi said. “Every state has a responsibility to ensure that voter registration records are accurate, accessible, and secure — states that don’t fulfill that obligation will see this Department of Justice in court.”
