Feds denied access to Michigan’s unredacted voter records
The Sixth Circuit Court ruled 2-1 that the federal government lacks authority under Title III of the Civil Rights Act to demand unredacted Michigan voter records, as the state created the records rather than acquiring them. The dissent argued the records should be subject to federal demand. The case arose after the U.S. attorney general sought voter data to enforce laws against non-citizen voting.
