The Department of Justice (DOJ) sued six states on Thursday, including California and New York, for not providing sensitive, private voter data the department asked for.
“Clean voter rolls are the foundation of free and fair elections. Every state has a responsibility to ensure that voter registration records are accurate, accessible, and secure — states that don’t fulfill that obligation will see this Department of Justice in court,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement.
Apart from New York and California, the DOJ sued Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. All of the lawsuits were filed in federal courts.
The DOJ’s announcement came hours before former FBI Director James Comey was indicted by a federal grand jury, as President Trump ramps up public pressure on Bondi and others in the department to go after his political rivals.
