Trump Administration Faces 21st Court Defeat Over State Voter Roll Requests
The Trump administration has faced its 21st court defeat this year in efforts to obtain state voter registration records, with judges ruling that states are not legally required to share these records with the federal government. Courts have affirmed that the Constitution grants states primary authority over federal election administration. Despite claims by President Trump about widespread noncitizen voting benefiting Democrats, audits and investigations have found such voting to be rare, with most cases resulting from confusion rather than fraud.
