A federal judge ​on Friday rejected the U.S. Department of Justice's bid to force Rhode Island to ‌turn over non-public data on nearly 750,000 registered voters so the Trump administration could probe "election integrity" in the Democratic-led state.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Mary McElroy in Providence marked the latest in a series of legal setbacks for the Justice ​Department's efforts after judges ruled against its similar requests in California, Massachusetts, Michigan and Oregon.
