6th Circuit Court Affirms Ruling Against DOJ's Access to Michigan Voter Data

The 6th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that the Justice Department cannot access Michigan's confidential voter registration data, including personal information like birth dates and Social Security numbers.
This decision marks the first appellate ruling on the Trump administration's requests for unredacted voter rolls from multiple states, with similar efforts rejected in at least nine other states.
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson stated that the federal government can only access a list of registered voters, not personal details.
