The U.S. Justice Department has sued Georgia, two other states, and the District of Columbia, accusing them of not turning over voter registration lists requested by the Trump administration. Thursday's lawsuits are the latest in a series from the Justice Department seeking voter information as part of its effort to collect detailed voting data and other election information across the country. Along with Georgia and Washington, D.C., the department sued Wisconsin and Illinois. "The law is clear: states need to give us this information, so we can do our duty to protect American citizens from vote dilution," said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. "Today's filings show that regardless of which party is in charge of a particular state, the Department of Justice will firmly stand on the side of election integrity and transparency."
