  • The DOJ Voting Section fell from thirty lawyers to two after President Donald Trump’s administration dismissed most attorneys three months into his January 2025 inauguration.
  • The remaining staff includes two newly hired lawyers with limited court experience who are pursuing Trump-aligned lawsuits.
