""I was just wrong. It was wildly different than the first Trump administration. There was just a sense that this was not going to be the same. And then in the Voting Section, what happened is they just started dismissing cases.""
""The departing lawyers have since been replaced by half a dozen new hires with little federal court experience who have made a litany of basic errors in court filings.""
""They have also appeared more than willing to comply with Trump's anti-voting directives, filing dozens of lawsuits in a bid to force states to hand over unredacted voter rolls.""
Following Donald Trump's second inauguration, the DOJ's Voting Section saw a drastic reduction in personnel, with only two of thirty attorneys remaining three months later. The new hires lack federal court experience and have made numerous errors in court filings. They have also shown a willingness to follow Trump's anti-voting directives, leading to a series of lawsuits aimed at obtaining unredacted voter rolls. This shift has raised concerns about the integrity of the Voting Section as the midterms approach.
