Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Trump administration may look to the Supreme Court for help in a fight over state voter rolls.
"Absolutely it's a possibility. Election integrity is something that President Trump ran on. And the American people elected him," Blanche told NBC News's Kristen Welker on "Meet the Press" in a Sunday interview when asked about taking the fight to the Supreme Court.
"It's something that every American should care about. And so the idea that the Department of Justice is trying to investigate issues around elections to make sure they're fair and make sure they're conducted the right way is not something that we should be running away from. That's something we should be running right towards," he added.
The Department of Justice has sued multiple states for not handing over sensitive, private voter data as requested. However, it has recently lost multiple cases in attempting to get that data.
Those moves come ahead of the 2026 midterms, which could be consequential for President Trump if Democrats win control of either or both chambers of Congress, which they appear poised to do.

CEUTA, Spain (AP) — Thousands of migrants streamed into the tiny Spanish territory of Ceuta from Morocco on Thursday, prompting local officials to call on Spain to declare a national emergency and send the army to restore the frontier.
Spain's interior ministry said it would guarantee the safety of citizens and the integrity of the nation's border, but that the government could not declare a national emergency over migration concerns.
Video footage showed crowds of people, mainly Moroccans, walking around the breakwaters at Tarajal beach onto local roads. While the majority appeared to be young men, there were also families with women and children. "Viva España!" some shouted to a freelance photographer working for The ***** ociated Press.
Spain is a main point of arrival into Europe for migrants seeking better economic opportunities or an escape from violence in their home countries.
The escalation at the border between Spain and Morocco comes after a surge in migrants attempting to reach the small exclave, mainly by swimming.
