米司法省は、ニューハンプシャー州の連邦裁判所で進行中の投票詐欺疑惑に関連する裁判において、提出書類に誤りがあったことを認めた。当局は金曜日、本来は別のミネソタ州の訴訟向けであった通知を取り下げる申し立てを行った。司法省はその後、正しい書類を改めて提出した。
ハーミート・K・ディロン司法次官補および公民権局の検察官らは、2025年9月のグラニット・ステート（ニューハンプシャー州の通称）での事件において、2ページの申し立て書類を提出した。この文書には、補足的権限に関する通知が誤って提出されたと記載されており、裁判記録からの取り下げが求められた。誤って提出された通知は、実際には、昨年同日に州とその州務長官を相手取ってミネソタ州で起こされた投票詐欺事件に関するものであった。
