Federal judge dismisses DOJ lawsuit seeking Arizona voter registration data
U.S. District Judge Susan Brnovich, a Trump appointee, dismissed the Department of Justice's lawsuit on Tuesday seeking Arizona's voter registration list, ruling that the state's data is not subject to demands under Title III of the Civil Rights Act. The ruling marks another legal defeat for the Trump administration's efforts to obtain voter rolls from multiple states for election integrity verification purposes. Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes hailed the decision as a win for voter privacy.

Breitbart emphasizes the administration's election integrity rationale and notes 34,000 dead voters found in North Carolina as supporting evidence; other outlets focus on the legal authority question and frame it as a DOJ loss without election security context.
