Mazie Hirono just put Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on the spot over the Trump Justice Department’s failed crusade to seize state voter rolls, and the moment quickly turned into another embarrassing hearing disaster for Trump’s nominee. Hirono asked Blanche a simple yes-or-no question: after the DOJ sued dozens of states seeking access to voter lists, had any of the 14 federal judges who resolved those cases agreed with the department’s legal position? Blanche tried to blur the answer, claiming some judges agreed with “some” of the DOJ’s positions. Hirono was ready for it, and with a laugh, she corrected him on the record. “Actually, that’s not correct,” Hirono said. “The answer is actually no.” She then reminded Blanche that the 14 judges who rejected DOJ’s position included some Trump appointees, making the failure even harder for the administration to spin. The point was clear: Trump’s Justice Department has been trying to force states to hand over voter data, and the courts have not been buying it. This was bigger than one awkward answer. Hirono framed the voter roll push as part of Trump’s broader attempt to interfere with elections, using the Justice Department to pressure states instead of protecting voters and the rule of law. Blanche came into the hearing trying to defend Trump’s DOJ. Hirono walked him straight into the record and made sure the country heard the truth. d5n78JbHTYE G9t1dRsNzbU 3UDXqWYs3x1 HCviSnlzOvP
