Michigan joins Oregon and California in blocking DOJ as voter-roll lawsuits hit 24 states

The Justice Department argued that it was authorized access to the state’s full voter registration based on the Help America Vote Act, the National Voter Registration Act and the Civil Rights Act of 1960.

“As explained below, the Court concludes that HAVA does not require the disclosure of any records, the NVRA does not require the disclosure of voter registration lists because they are not records concerning the implementation of list maintenance procedures, and the CRA does not require the disclosure of voter registration lists because they are not documents that come into the possession of election officials,” Jarbou wrote in her opinion.

Jarbou ruled that forcing Michigan officials to disclose sensitive voter information “would potentially cause the statute to impose an unconstitutional burden on the right to vote guaranteed by the First Amendment."

“Thus, the Court will grant the motions to dismiss,” she added.
