A federal judge has ordered the government to disclose which states received letters seeking help to find evidence of voter fraud. The deadline is noon on Friday.
The ruling came in a lawsuit challenging the letters sent to state officials. The judge wants details on where the requests went.
Government lawyers must identify the states that received the letters. The court set a tight timeline for the release.
The letters were part of an effort to gather evidence of voter fraud. Critics say the requests overstepped federal authority.
The lawsuit argues the demands placed pressure on state election officials. The judge’s order aims to bring transparency to the process.
States that received the letters may face questions about their response. The disclosure could reveal how widely the requests were distributed.
The case continues as both sides prepare for further legal arguments. The judge has not yet ruled on the underlying claims.
