Legal expert rings Trump crusade's death knell after DOJ 'humiliated' once more - Raw Story
2 weeks ago - In a recent video posted by Democracy Docket, elections lawyer Marc Elias explained that the DOJ is 0-20 in its effort to sue for access to states' voter rolls. He predicted that the DOJ will be stifled in its attempt to gain sweeping access to voters' private data, including Social Security and driver's license numbers. "I've seen enough," Elias said. "DOJ is getting humiliated. Ask yourself: when was the last time you ever heard that the Department of Justice lost 20 cases in a row in 20 different courts when 12 of the courts were with judges appointed by Republicans, and eight were appointed by Donald Trump?" Elias bluntly predicted, "They aren't getting the data" they're seeking, even as the DOJ appeals its losses and has 10 more cases in which a judge could rule in its favor. "Is it possible that in one of those 10 remaining cases a judge goes the other way?

Attorney General Todd Blanche says DOJ may take states’ voter roll fight to Supreme Court
Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday there’s a “possibility” that the Justice Department will ask the Supreme Court to intervene in dozens of cases in which judges have ruled against the federal government’s efforts to gain broad access to state voter rolls ahead of November’s midterm elections. “Absolutely, it’s a possibility,” Blanche told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” when asked whether he’d appeal the 22 cases the Justice Department has lost so far to the Supreme Court. “Election integrity is something that President Trump ran on, and the American people elected him. It’s something that every American should care about,” the attorney general added. “And so the idea that the Department of Justice is trying to investigate issues around elections to make sure they’re fair and make sure they’re conducted the right way is not something that we should be running away from.

After 20 straight losses, Trump DOJ struggles to defend demand for Washington state voter rolls - Democracy Docket
2 weeks ago - After losing 20 consecutive lawsuits seeking states’ unredacted voter rolls, President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice conceded Tuesday that its case against Washington is materially no different from the others — but still urged another federal court to embrace the same sweeping legal theory rejected by every court to consider it. During a lengthy hearing, the judge repeatedly pressed DOJ attorneys to explain why the department needs driver’s license and Social Security numbers of Washington voters to evaluate the state’s compliance with federal election law.
