Case Summary

PHOENIX – A federal judge on Tuesday dismissed a U.S. Department of Justice lawsuit against Arizona seeking access to the state's detailed voter records, the latest legal setback in a nationwide effort by the Trump administration. District Judge Susan Brnovich, a Trump appointee, wrote that Arizona's statewide voter registration list is “not a document subject to request by the Attorney General" under federal law. The judge dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice because, she wrote, “amendment would be legally futile.” Recommended Videos The dismissal of the Arizona lawsuit follows a string of other rulings against the Department of Justice in similar cases in other states.
