Scripps News writes that the U.S. Department of Justice requests are signaling that the DOJ is shifting its traditional concern of protecting citizens' access to the ballot box to focusing on fraud and noncitizen voting, both of which are rare but have been the subject of years of false claims from Trump and his allies.
The DOJ has sent letters to over a dozen states demanding access to sensitive voter information, including voter registration rolls. Last week, the latest targets of the department's radical hunt for voter fraud were Maryland and Michigan. This time, it's Maine.
