The Trump administration's efforts to clean up voting rolls continue apace, but a lot of states - let's be honest, Democrat-controlled states - aren't cooperating. In the latest episode of "Let's Keep Our Elections Questionable," four states are refusing to supply the Justice Department with detailed voting data, as the DOJ seeks to evaluate and ensure the accuracy of voter rolls and the veracity of our elections.
The DOJ is now suing those states.
The U.S. Justice Department is suing four more states as part of its effort to collect detailed voting data and other election information across the country.
The department filed federal lawsuits against Colorado, Hawaii, Massachusetts and Nevada on Thursday for “failing to produce statewide voter registration lists upon request.” So far, 18 states have been sued, along with Fulton County in Georgia, which was sued for records related to the 2020 election.
All blue states, we might note. What a surprise.
The Trump administration has characterized the lawsuits as part of an effort to ensure the security of elections, and the Justice Department says the states are violating federal law by refusing to provide the voter lists and information about ineligible voters. The lawsuits have raised concerns among some Democratic officials and others who question exactly how the data will be used, and whether the department will follow privacy laws to protect the information. Some of the data sought includes names, dates of birth, residential addresses, driver’s license numbers and partial Social Security numbers.
“States have the statutory duty to preserve and protect their constituents from vote dilution,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division said in a press release. “At this Department of Justice, we will not permit states to jeopardize the integrity and effectiveness of elections by refusing to abide by our federal elections laws. If states will not fulfill their duty to protect the integrity of the ballot, we will.”
It's always thus; blue jurisdictions defy any attempts at ensuring election integrity, from requiring ID to cast a ballot to verifying the accuracy and integrity of voter rolls.

These four states are only the latest on a list of states facing legal challenges from the DOJ:
An Associated Press tally found that the Justice Department has asked at least 26 states for voter registration rolls in recent months, and in many cases asked states for information on how they maintain their voter rolls. Other states being sued by the Justice Department include California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.
It is, perhaps, belaboring the obvious to note that if we cannot rely on the integrity of our elections, we no longer have a republic. The Trump administration's DOJ is trying to shore up election integrity. These Democrat-run states are trying to stop that effort. If that doesn't explain a fundamental difference between the two parties, I don't know what might.
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon isn't standing for any nonsense from these states and the legacy media that supports them:

Good elections shouldn't be that hard. Here in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, when it's election day, we show up at our community center, show our ID, sign the voter roll, and then mark and cast our paper ballot. These ballots don't go into machines (although Alaska state elections still use machines to tally votes); they are counted by people. That's still the most reliable way to get this done. That's what we should be doing everywhere. And that voter roll should be evaluated and corrected as necessary, before every election. That's election integrity, and without it, we have no republic - just, well, a system that puts someone like Joe Biden in office.
