Judges block Trump push for voter info, setting up possible Supreme Court fight
A federal appeals court ruled that the Department of Justice cannot access sensitive Michigan voter data under the 1960 Civil Rights Act, blocking a Trump administration effort to obtain voter information from 30 states. The 2-1 decision in the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals cited potential conflicts with the National Voter Registration Act and Help America Vote Act, which govern voter roll maintenance.
