A federal judge in Georgia on Friday dismissed a Justice Department lawsuit seeking voter information from the state, ruling the department had filed it in the wrong city.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) filed the lawsuit against Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Dec. 18 in the U.S. District Court in Macon, Georgia, after he refused to provide the federal government with the state’s full voter registration information.
