Appeals court rules Michigan doesn’t have to hand over sensitive voter data

A federal appeals court has ruled that Michigan doesn't have to share its sensitive voter data with the Trump administration, citing that Title III of the 1960 Civil Rights Act doesn't permit the Justice Department to compel such state disclosures. This decision is significant as it highlights the ongoing tension between state and federal data privacy rights and the administration's attempts to access voter information. The ruling underscores the importance of safeguarding voter data and privacy, emphasizing the judiciary's role in balancing federal requests with state sovereignty.
