DOJ sues Idaho for refusing to provide voter registration rolls

The Justice Departmen has filed a lawsuit against Idaho for refusing to provide voter registration rolls.The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division announced the lawsuit Wednesday, bringing the agency’s nationwide total cases on voter rolls to 30 states and Washington, D.C.
“The Justice Department will continue to fulfill its oversight role dutifully, neutrally, and transparently wherever Americans vote in federal elections,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said in a statement. “Many state election officials, however, are choosing to fight us in court rather than show their work. We will continue to verify that all States are carrying out critical election integrity legal duties.”
Dhillon told Just the News last month that her ongoing review of state voter rolls revealed tens of thousands of non-citizens who cast ballots, and that hundreds of thousands of dead or departed residents were not properly removed from state election systems. She added that 16 states had turned over their voter rolls to the DOJ, or signed a memorandum of understanding to provide the data.
