The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed lawsuits against Wisconsin, Illinois, Georgia, and the District of Columbia for what it said is a failure to hand over voter rolls to the agency.

The DOJ said on Dec. 18 that laws stipulate that Congress has to ensure that states have correct voter registration and voter lists, prompting the lawsuits. So far, the DOJ has filed election-related lawsuits against 22 states, it said.
