Judge blocks use of federal database to check citizenship, saying it could wrongly purge voters - AP News
Overview
A federal judge ruled that a revamped federal tool used to check voters' citizenship is unlawful and cannot be used, finding it risked wrongly purging eligible voters after processing tens of millions of records. The 6th Circuit’s decision denying the Justice Department access to Michigan’s voter list complements that ruling, signaling broader judicial skepticism about federal efforts to centralize or use sensitive voter data.
