Summary
The Justice Department filed an emergency motion at the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday against the state of Michigan over its refusal to share voter rolls without personal information redacted. According to voting rights lawyer Marc Elias, the DOJ had some serious problems with typos in the copy. First, he remarked on social media, they misspelled "voters" as "votors." Emergency was spelled "Emeregency." Even the United States didn't get off the hook, spelled as "United Staes" by the Justice Department. "And, it included a non-party in the caption. These are the people who want access to your voting records and who my team fights in court every day," Elias noted, sharing the document from the docket. The motion demands that the Sixth Circuit expedite the administration's efforts to get voter files before the November election. They claim that they need all of the voter rolls in their entirety because it "raises an issue of urgency with regard to the security of elections in the U.S."Trump's demand for voter rolls included 25 primarily blue states. However, on Friday, he added five more to his list. Those included Utah, Oklahoma, Kentucky, West Virginia and New Jersey. One of Trump's biggest supporters, Gov. Kevin Stitt (R-Okla.), announced he has no intention of cooperating with the demand.He wrote on Facebook, “Oklahoma is a model for secure elections. We’ve banned ballot harvesting, require voter ID and verify results with post‑election audits. Because in Oklahoma, every legal vote counts. That’s why we’re a national leader in election integrity.”
