O Departamento de Justiça dos EUA reconheceu um erro de preenchimento em um processo em um tribunal federal de New Hampshire envolvendo alegações de fraude eleitoral. As autoridades apresentaram uma moção na sexta-feira para retirar uma notificação que se destinava a um processo separado em Minnesota. O Departamento de Justiça também apresentou o documento correto logo depois.

A Procuradora-Geral Assistente Harmeet K. Dhillon e os promotores da Divisão de Direitos Civis apresentaram a moção de duas páginas no caso Granite State de setembro de 2025. O documento declarava que a notificação de autoridade suplementar foi apresentada por erro e solicitava sua retirada dos autos. A notificação extraviada referia-se, na verdade, a um caso de fraude eleitoral em Minnesota aberto contra o estado e seu secretário de estado no mesmo dia do ano passado.
