In good sign for voters, court won't fast-track Trump DOJ voter roll appeals

A federal appeals court declined Monday to put three Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) voter roll appeals on the emergency timeline the department requested, slowing its push for sensitive voter data from Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island before a key federal deadline.

The more deliberate schedule could make it harder for DOJ to obtain state rolls in time to help states purge voters.

he First Circuit Court of Appeals refused to consolidate the three appeals and declined to adopt the Department of Justice’s proposed expedited schedule, instead ordering separate briefing under a regular timeline.

The order is a procedural setback for President Donald Trump’s DOJ, which is trying to recover from an unprecedented losing streak in its nationwide crusade to obtain unredacted statewide voter rolls.
