DOJ Chief Signals Supreme Court Route in State Voter-Roll Battle

Newly confirmed Attorney General Todd Blanche told Meet the Press that taking the DOJ’s bid to obtain state unredacted voter rolls to the U.S. Supreme Court is a “possibility” after a string of losses in lower courts; the department argues a Civil Rights Act provision authorizes access to private voter records to verify noncitizen voting claims, but courts have largely rejected that reading, including a Sixth Circuit panel that refused to rehear the case. Blanche said the effort will continue and did not pledge complete independence from the White House.
