Judge dismisses Department of Justice lawsuit seeking Pennsylvania voters’ private information

A federal judge dismissed a U.S. Department of Justice lawsuit seeking Pennsylvania's voter roll with personal identifying information, citing concerns about potential misuse. The DOJ has sued 30 states and D.C. for access to nonpublic voter data, claiming it is necessary to ensure compliance with federal voter registration laws. Seventeen Republican-led states have voluntarily provided unredacted rolls, while others, like Pennsylvania and Michigan, have only shared publicly available versions.
