Federal Judge Dismisses DOJ Lawsuit for New Jersey Voter Rolls Access
On July 30, 2026, a federal judge dismissed the Justice Department's lawsuit seeking access to New Jersey's unredacted voter rolls, marking the DOJ's 18th consecutive loss in similar cases. The ruling followed the state's disclosure of illegal registrations of noncitizens due to a software error, but the judge stated this did not affect the legality of the DOJ's request. The DOJ plans to appeal the decision while continuing its investigation into the improper registrations.
