NEW: A civil rights coalition warns that the DOJ's demand for New Jersey's unredacted voter data is more than a privacy threat — it's an intimidation tactic against Black voters.
"Poll taxes and literacy tests may be gone. But while the means of intimidation may change, the end stays the same." https://t.co/qL71rLk1wo
"The Constitution & federal statutes make clear that states have the sole authority to maintain their voter rolls, & it is no surprise that election officials from both parties are standing up to the admin to defend their role in administering elections." https://t.co/rWNx85BIDj
Election Day is the deadline for voting, but not for counting ballots or declaring a winner.
States are in charge of counting votes. Officials make sure every eligible vote is counted before they announce a winner.
