Federal judges reject Justice Department arguments in every case so far

Original: "In written opinions, every one of the 26 judges has rejected the Justice Department’s arguments and thrown out its laws

All 26 judges who have issued written rulings have rejected the Justice Department's arguments and dismissed its lawsuits, with four cases still pending.

The string of losses has drawn attention to the department's litigation strategy.

Why now: The department's perfect losing record across rulings by 26 judges is striking news amid ongoing cases over its voter data efforts.
