- A federal judge in Oregon issued a blistering order against the Trump administration, stating that the Department of Justice cannot be trusted to protect voter rights, according to voting rights attorney Marc Elias.
- The Trump administration is attempting to secure voter registrations from mostly blue states, alarming election experts, and has resorted to measures like raiding an election office in Fulton County, Georgia, seizing 700 boxes of materials related to the 2020 general election.
- Marc Elias noted that the judge's ruling is significant, as it indicates that the court "can no longer assume" the DOJ's intentions are legitimate when requesting voter data, citing the judge's statement that the DOJ "can no longer be taken at its word".
JUSTICE MATTERS
The New York Times and Raw Story cover different aspects of the Trump administration's actions, with the New York Times focusing on a court ruling regarding deportation protections, using phrases such as "recent rulings by the Supreme Court as precedent." In contrast, Raw Story highlights a federal judge's order against the Trump administration regarding voter rights, quoting Marc Elias as saying the judge declared Trump's DOJ "can no longer be taken at its word." This difference in framing obscures the broader context of the Trump administration's efforts to access voter data, as reported by Raw Story, which notes the administration's attempts to secure voter registrations from mostly blue states.
