Trump DOJ Under AG Pam Bondi Sues States to Purge Voter Rolls -- Reverses Longstanding Policy Protecting Voter Registration

Under Attorney General Pam Bondi, the Department of Justice reversed decades of voting rights enforcement. DOJ sued election administrators in North Carolina to force voter roll purges, sued Orange County, California for redacting voter private information, filed statements of interest in Oregon and Illinois supporting aggressive purges, and sent letters to election officials in Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin alleging failures in voter list maintenance. DOJ also dropped existing voter protection cases and supported election deniers in court, entering "confidential" agreements with states for voter data access.
