United States v. Evans
Case Overview
The Justice Department sued Monica Evans, executive director of the District of Columbia Board of Elections, to compel production of the District's statewide voter-registration list, including birthdates and partial Social Security numbers, and its list-maintenance procedures. The demand was part of the administration's broader campaign to obtain state and District voter rolls to compare against the federal SAVE immigration database. Filed December 18, 2025 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia before Judge Randolph D. Moss.
Legal Issues
The Conclusion
Dismissed August 6, 2026. Judge Moss held that federal voting law does not compel the District to hand over its voter-registration records and that the Constitution leaves the running of federal elections primarily to states, directing the Department to take any disagreement with Congress's judgment to Congress rather than the courts. The ruling was widely reported as the Justice Department's 21st straight courtroom defeat in its multi-state voter-roll campaign.
