A Rhode Island judge has denied the Department of Justice (DOJ) requests for unredacted voting rolls from the state of Rhode Island, citing two federal laws that require each state to ensure its voter-registration lists are accurate. The judge stated that DOJ lawyers provided no legal or factual basis for the records, citing no specific evidence suggesting problems with Rhode Island's voter records. This ruling follows similar decisions by judges in several other states. The DOJ has been seeking electronic copies of election-related data, ballots from past elections, and access to voting machines since May 2025.
