DOJ Seeks Stay to Resume Voter Data Collection After Court Block

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has requested a federal court to pause its October 9 ruling that blocked the agency from collecting state voter roll data. The DOJ argues its data requests were voluntary, not mandatory, and seeks to resume using the flawed SAVE database to identify alleged noncitizen voters. This move follows a series of legal defeats, including a 0-26 record in lawsuits against states, and occurs just weeks before the November midterm elections.

NC GOP-led Board Expands Voter Vetting with DHS Data

North Carolina's Republican-majority State Board of Elections approved rules to compare voter registrations with the DHS SAVE database to flag possible noncitizens, in a 3–2 vote that critics say could wrongly purge eligible voters; the move is part of a broader GOP push for data-driven verification, following other actions like mismatched IDs, a Registration Repair Project, and expanded data requests from the DMV.
