Another DOJ Failure to Prove Voter Fraud

Last May, I noted that a federal district court had issued partial summary judgment against the U.S. in its suit against the state of Missouri, claiming the state was violating the NVRA by failing to remove ineglible voters from the state’s registration rolls.
Last week, the court issued its final judgment. Check out what the court says at 21-22:

    It is also telling that the United States has not shown that any Missouri resident was denied his or her right to vote as a result of deficiencies alleged by the United States. Nor has the United States shown that any voter fraud has occurred. Increased voter participation and elimination of fraud were the primary goals of Congress when it mandated that the States make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate voter registration lists. The absence of evidence of fraud or voter suppression during the relevant time period weighs heavily in favor of a finding that the Defendants’ efforts have been reasonable.
