Eight Federal Courts Dismiss DOJ Lawsuits Demanding State Voter Data; Voting Rights Groups Sue to Block National Voter Database

Eight Federal Courts Dismiss DOJ Lawsuits Demanding State Voter Data; Voting Rights Groups Sue to Block National Voter Database

Claimant

DOJ (plaintiff in dismissed suits); Common Cause, League of Women Voters (counter-plaintiffs)

Notes

DOJ is appealing all three earliest dismissals (CA, OR, MI). Appellate decisions could come before November 2026 midterms. The counter-lawsuit filed April 21 by Common Cause specifically objects to running voter data through DHS's SAVE program — a detail that has not received much attention.

Coverage Gap

Far-right outlets are not reporting on the eight consecutive court losses. Right coverage focuses on the DOJ's intent (stopping noncitizen voting) rather than its legal track record.
