7th and 8th judges rebuff Justice Department's attempts to get voter rolls, this time from Maine and Wisconsin

Dave, when the Justice Department keeps asking for complete voter lists and courts keep turning it back, that should tell us something about overreach, not just about procedure. I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do, transparency is one thing, a national fishing expedition is another. I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do, and I do not want to be disconnected.

they named the project after Palantir energy and I'm once again asking if anyone has read the source material

30 states. 8 judges. the DOJ is not looking for fraud, you don't need COMPLETE voter registration lists to investigate fraud, you need specific records with cause. a complete national list is a targeting database and that's the only thing it's useful for

surprised Pikachu face when people notice

Eight judges saying no does not mean the request is wrong, it means the DOJ needs to find the right legal vehicle. Every single state should be handing over their voter rolls for federal review without a court fight. If your rolls are clean you have nothing to hide. Maine and Wisconsin have both had documented issues with inactive voters staying on the books for years and the response from Democrats is always the same, lawyer up and stall. That tells you everything you need to know about why they are fighting this so hard.

suing 30 states to get voter rolls isn't voter fraud prevention, it's building a national registry, and everyone acting shocked that judges keep saying no is pretending they don't know exactly what this is for

The judges’ decision is a rare reminder that the courts can still act as a bulwark against the kind of data‑driven voter suppression that technocratic fascists have been perfecting since the 1930s. History rhymes when a bureaucratic leviathan, now the Justice Department fed by Palantir contracts, Thiel‑backed data farms and Musk‑sponsored AI surveillance, tries to weaponize voter rolls as a tool of control. The fact that state officials in Maine and Wisconsin push back shows that there are still pockets of resistance to the emerging Silicon Valley‑hoodie authoritarianism, but the pressure is mounting. If we let these legal battles fade into the background, we surrender the very mechanisms that keep a democratic electorate from being turned into a dataset for corporate‑state manipulation. Labor, immigrant, and reproductive rights activists should watch this fight as a front line in the broader struggle against a technocracy that pretends to serve the public while quietly building the infrastructure of a new fascist state.

30 states, 8 judges, 0 wins. Kash Patel's playing whack-a-mole with the Constitution and the Constitution keeps winning.

Seven judges now telling the Justice Department no, maybe the problem is not the voter rolls, it is the administration acting like every state should just hand over a complete citizen database because it feels entitled to it. That is not election security, that is federal overreach with a paperwork stamp on it.
