Report: DOJ Civil Rights Division Placed NH Secretary of State Scanlan Under Criminal Investigation
The U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division notified New Hampshire Secretary of State Scanlan in a September letter that he is under criminal investigation for refusing to turn over unredacted voter rolls and must preserve evidence, according to reporting by InDepthNH carried Nov. 11. The dispute began with a July letter from Assistant Attorney General Dhillon.
Judge LaPlante dismissed the department's civil suit on June 29, 2026. No charges, subpoenas or indictments have been filed. Dhillon resigned on Nov. 5. The state legislature's 424 members are scheduled to vote on Dec. 2 on whether Scanlan keeps his post. Scanlan's office has said it is following state privacy law in declining to release unredacted voter data.
