While the Trump administration continues to push Democrat-led states to turn over their voter rolls (voter registration data including names, dates of birth and partial social security numbers), a federal judge in Oregon on Monday ruled against the DOJ’s request to view the state’s unredacted voter rolls.
The Trump administration has filed lawsuits seeking voter registration data in at least 23 states, Fox News has reported.
Continuing to cast aspersions and seed doubt about U.S. election integrity — a persistent MAGA attack point, despite having been rejected by multiple courts — the Trump administration claims Democrats are allowing noncitizens to vote in elections, which is illegal.
The administration says the surrendered state voter rolls will help prove its claims and fuel its push for the SAVE Act, a proof-of-citizenship requirement in voter registration.
Prior to the Oregon court ruling against the Trump administration, Democracy Docket reported last week that an audit of more than two million voter registrations in the state of Utah, led by MAGA loyalist and U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), “found only one noncitizen, who never voted.”

The results undercut the right-wing narrative of widespread noncitizen voting, especially as Republicans renew their push for a proof-of-citizenship requirement in…
According to Utah Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson (R), the state’s chief elections officer, the one noncitizen identified (who was confirmed to have never voted) was removed from the rolls.
Trump supporters are responding to the results of the months-long Utah audit on social media with comments including “Utah a red state, that is your example? Try looking at California, Arizona, Minnesota, Oregon etc.” and “Then why are blue states hiding their rolls?”
Voting rights advocates warn against proof-of-citizenship requirements as demanded in Lee’s proposed SAVE Act, which require Americans to provide a birth certificate, passport, or other citizenship document to register or re-register to vote.
The Brennan Center for Justice reports: “There’s a direct relationship between the ease of registration and the number of voters on the rolls. Some American citizens — even those who can access citizenship documents — will not register, and will not turn out to vote, if they can’t register online or by mail.”
