Summary
Federal judge blocks Justice Department’s attempt to seize New Hampshire’s voter registration data, ruling the request violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964—marking the 10th state to deny such access. The DOJ has pursued similar data in 30 states and D.C., citing election law compliance, but critics argue it breaches privacy and undermines state systems. Some even admit wanting unredacted lists for Homeland Security citizenship checks. While 13 states have surrendered their data, others like New Hampshire are standing firm, with officials across party lines rallying to protect voter privacy.
