Obama-linked group moves to block Trump voting commission from collecting data

A group of lawyers who served in former President Barack Obama's administration has moved for a temporary injunction against President Donald Trump's voter fraud commission, seeking to block it from accessing voter roll data from all 50 states.

The Protect Democracy Project, headed by two former associate White House counsels to Obama, claimed in court documents that President Trump's voter fraud probe caused an "immediate blow to the proper functioning of our democracy" by requesting the data without following proper legal procedures. "We're going to be arguing that it's going to be vital for the court to take action right away," Protect Democracy attorney Larry Schwartztol told the news service.
