  "textContent": "The Justice Department filed an emergency motion to the 6th District Court that was rife with basic spelling errors, including spelling _voters_ as “votors,” _United States_ as “United Staes,” and _emergency_ as “emeregency.”\n\nThe DOJ filed an emergency appeal Friday after a Michigan judge refused to force the state of Michigan to hand over access to sensitive voting records that includes each voter’s date of birth, address, and more. The DOJ has now sued 30 states seeking access to voter rolls.\n\nThis isn’t the first time the DOJ has displayed basic incompetence in court. Last April, DOJ lawyers misspelled _United States_   in their case against the wrongly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia. In October, former prosecutor Lindsey Halligan listed New York Attorney General Letitia James’s address as “Brooklyn, New Jersey” instead of New York in a court filing. And just last week, the DOJ sued New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill, but misspelled her name over and over again.\n\n“These are the people who want access to your voting records and who my team fights in court every day,” Democracy Docket’s Marc E. Elias wrote.",
