A federal judge in Rhode Island has dismissed the Trump administration's lawsuit demanding the state's unredacted voter rolls. U.S. District Court Judge Mary McElroy on Friday sided with Rhode Island election officials and civil rights advocates, stating federal law doesn't allow such a "fishing expedition." The Justice Department declined to comment. The DOJ claims it needs the data for election security, but officials argue the demand violates privacy laws and are concerned it will be used to check citizenship status. The Rhode Island ruling is similar to other rejections by federal judges across the country since the Justice Department began seeking detailed voter data from the states.
