The U.S. Department of Justice acknowledged a filing error in a New Hampshire federal court case involving voting fraud allegations. Officials submitted a motion on Friday to withdraw a notice that had been intended for a separate Minnesota lawsuit. The DOJ also filed the correct document shortly afterward.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon and prosecutors in the Civil Rights Division filed the two-page motion in the September 2025 Granite State case. The document stated that the notice of supplementary authority was filed in error and requested its withdrawal from the docket. The misplaced notice actually pertained to a Minnesota voting fraud case filed against the state and its secretary of state on the same day last year.
