Federal judge dismisses Justice Department lawsuit seeking Oregon's voter rolls

Source: NBC

A federal judge in Oregon dismissed a Justice Department lawsuit seeking Oregon’s unredacted voter rolls on Monday in another setback to wide-ranging efforts by President Donald Trump’s administration to get detailed voter data from states.

In a hearing, U.S. District Judge Mustafa Kasubhai said he would dismiss the suit and issue a final written opinion in the coming days. The updated docket for the case showed that Oregon’s move to dismiss the case was granted.

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield welcomed the move.

“The court dismissed this case because the federal government never met the legal standard to get these records in the first place,” he said in an emailed statement. “Oregonians deserve to know that voting laws can’t be used as a backdoor to grab their personal information.”

they have become the Gollum they always warned us the Democrats would be.
Wanting now lists of voters with their personal information to fill out the ranks of “enemies” marked for “Retribution"
And turned their backs on the teachings of their Savior because He was Woke. And embraced their Toxic Masculinity and their Domination Fetishism. The actions of the ICE mob is primitive aggressiveness deployed with overzealous bravado intended to terrorize, resulting in a huge rise in crime in the streets by any rubric. This always ends in a dead-end.
Isn’t this schizophrenia?
This era of Fascism and Governmental over-reach is breathtakingly brazen and extremely exhausting.
Have we no shame?
