Since September 2025, DOJ has sued 30 states plus D.C. for unredacted voter rolls; judges threw out all 26 cases with final rulings, per ProPublica, while four are pending and one state settled.
Who ruled, and what they said
- Judges in the 26 decided cases: 8 Trump appointees, 4 Bush appointees, 14 Democratic appointees.
- Judge David O. Carter: "The Court does not take lightly DOJ's obfuscation of its true motives."
- Trump appointee Judge Lance Walker called DOJ's legal case "halfhearted."
- The one appeal decided so far, in the Sixth Circuit, upheld the dismissal of the Michigan case.
