US District judge dismisses Trump administration lawsuit against Colorado over voter rolls

Colorado Public Radio: A U.S. District Court judge on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit filed against the state of Colorado by the Trump Administration over access to sensitive voter data.

Denver-based U.S. District Court Judge Philip Brimmer said that the Department of Justice failed to provide a sufficient reason for obtaining unredacted voter information and that the federal government is not entitled to the data under federal law. Brimmer was nominated to the court by George W. Bush in 2008.

“Trump and his DOJ are attacking elections and democracy. We will not let them win,” said Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold in a written statement.
