Trump administration asks Supreme Court to allow voter verification database blocked by judge
The Justice Department has petitioned the court to permit use of a revamped database for checking state voter rolls.
The Trump administration's Justice Department has petitioned the Supreme Court to allow it to use a revamped voter verification database that was previously blocked by a judge, according to reporting from The Guardian. The database would be used to check state voter rolls amid what the outlet describes as mounting concern over federal involvement in midterm elections.
The petition comes as primary races continue across multiple states, including contests in New Hampshire for both Democratic and Republican House seats in what have historically been competitive districts.
