LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Michigan Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has scored another courtroom victory in her fight to keep the state’s unredacted voter rolls out of the hands of President Donald Trump’s Justice Department (DOJ). But the federal government may not be finished asking.

The U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals declined to rehear the case before the full court, leaving intact a June ruling that rejected the DOJ’s effort to obtain Michigan’s complete voter-registration list.

DOJ says it needs the information to determine whether Michigan is complying with federal voter-list maintenance requirements under the National Voter Registration Act and Help America Vote Act. The records contain identifying information that could help federal officials locate duplicate registrations, voters who have moved and people who may otherwise be ineligible.

Benson, meanwhile, has maintained that federal law doesn’t require her office to hand over the statewide list DOJ requested and has raised privacy concerns over voters’ personal information.

The Michigan AG’s office says Nessel filed the motion on behalf of the Michigan Department of State and the State of Michigan to protect the data of Michigan residents, specifically listing full dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, Social Security numbers and personal identification card numbers.

Whether Michigan’s voter data stays behind the curtain may depend on what DOJ puts in its next letter – or whether the fight eventually lands at the U.S. Supreme Court.
