Trump Justice Department sues NC elections board over voter registrations
The Trump administration is suing the state Board of Elections over what it says are violations of federal law for failing to maintain an accurate voter registration file.
In a lawsuit filed in federal court Tuesday, the U.S. Justice Department said the lack of driver’s license numbers, partial Social Security numbers, or unique identifying numbers connected to some voter registration records violates the Help America Vote Act.
The Justice Department wants the elections board to ask all voters who do not have the proper numbers in the statewide database for the information. The elections board is to attach unique numbers to voters who do not have those other identifiers.
The allegations in the DOJ lawsuit mirror an issue Republican Appeals Court Judge Jefferson Griffin raised as he tried to overturn Democratic Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs’ election victory by throwing out votes.
