NEW: In a move that could further weaken its case for amassing voters’ private data, the DOJ admitted in court it has no evidence that Vermont is not complying with federal voter roll maintenance laws. While the DOJ can request such data, it’s required to provide a sufficient reason for doing so.

DOJ said Vermont was violating federal voting laws. Asked for evidence, it couldn’t provide any
The hearing comes less than a week after a federal judge dismissed a similar DOJ lawsuit against Massachusetts on comparable grounds.

It is very easy to become accustomed to Trump’s ravings, and laugh them off. That’s a dangerous thing to do. When Trump states: “A whole civilization will die tonight,” he is threatening to commit genocide. We can’t allow that to happen. Congress must end this war NOW.
