Federal judge rules against Trump DoJ’s policy of collecting state voter rolls

Judge says justice department policy of checking state voter rolls against a federal immigration database is unlawful A federal judge ruled on Friday that the US justice department’s policy of collecting states’ unredacted voter rolls to check them against a federal immigration database is unlawful.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center the same court ruling and describe the Justice Department’s voter-roll policy as the target of the decision. The Guardian foregrounds the judge’s legal finding that the policy is unlawful and specifies that the rolls were unredacted and checked against a federal immigration database. CBS News similarly highlights the strike-down but adds only in its extract that the plan also involved pressing states to remove voters it determined were registered illegally.
