DOJ Considers Supreme Court Action on Voter Roll Disputes

Why it matters locally: Potential Supreme Court action on voter roll disputes could influence the administration and maintenance of voter registration lists by the West Virginia Secretary of State, potentially affecting future state and federal elections.

Attorney General Todd Blanche indicated the Department of Justice may present disputes over state voter rolls to the Supreme Court. Blanche made the statement during an interview on "Meet the Press." He confirmed the possibility of the Department of Justice pursuing this legal avenue, stating, "absolutely it's a possibility." The potential Supreme Court involvement would pertain to the Trump administration's ongoing challenges regarding voter registration lists at the state level.
