- 9th Circuit freezes DOJ appeal over AZ voter rolls while it weighs similar California, Oregon cases
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals paused the U.S. Department of Justice’s appeal of a ruling blocking the Trump administration’s access to Arizona’s voter registration database until it rules on similar cases in California and Oregon.
