DOJ seeks Detroit-area 2024 ballots, widening election probe
TL;DR
The Justice Department is demanding all ballots from Michigan’s Detroit area for the 2024 election, along with related election records, to probe compliance with election laws. The move, led by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon, has drawn criticism from Democratic state officials who call it baseless, arguing it undermines public confidence in elections. The request follows recent high-profile federal actions on past elections elsewhere, including seizures of 2020 ballots in Georgia and election records in Arizona.
