In a significant blow to the Biden administration's efforts to enforce voting rights, the state of New York has dropped its lawsuit against the US Department of Justice over access to its voter rolls. The move comes as the DOJ has suffered its 12th consecutive defeat in a series of high-profile voting rights cases. The lawsuit, which was filed in April, sought to compel the DOJ to provide New York with information about voters who have moved out of state or are deceased. The decision marks a major victory for the DOJ, which has faced intense scrutiny over its handling of voting rights cases under the Voting Rights Act.
