Judge Dismisses DOJ Bid for Nevada's Unredacted Voter List, Marking 22nd State Court Loss

Summary
Nevada won dismissal of a Justice Department lawsuit seeking the state’s unredacted voter-registration list, including sensitive personal data the state said is protected under Nevada law.
The DOJ had argued Title III of the 1960 Civil Rights Act entitled it to Nevada’s complete voter file after the state offered only its publicly available voter list.
Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar called the ruling a victory for voter privacy and said Nevada would keep maintaining accurate rolls and secure elections.
The decision makes Nevada the 22nd consecutive state or jurisdiction to defeat the Trump administration’s push in federal district court for unredacted voter rolls.
