- Federal judge dismisses DOJ lawsuit seeking Georgia voter data — On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Victoria Calvert dismissed the Department of Justice's lawsuit seeking unredacted Georgia voter-registration records, including Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, and dates of birth. This marks the second unsuccessful attempt by the Justice Department to obtain the state's confidential voter information since 2025. Federal officials argued they needed the records to investigate Georgia's compliance with election law, but Calvert found that neither of the federal laws cited by DOJ required the state to surrender the confidential information.
