An emergency motion failed to spell multiple basic words correctly.The Justice Department found itself red-faced after a court filing was riddled with basic spelling errors.
An emergency motion filed to the 6th District Court by the Department of Justice last week failed to spell multiple basic words correctly, spelling voters as votors, United States as United Staes, and emergency as emeregency.
The emergency appeal was filed after a Michigan judge refused to force the state to hand over records that contained personal voter information such as dates of birth, addresses, and Social Security numbers.
The Trump administration is attempting to force states to hand over personal information on tens of millions of voters across the country ahead of the 2026 midterms.
The DOJ has defended the outreach, arguing that full access to the data is necessary to enforce federal statutes that require states to keep their voter rolls current and free of ineligible registrations.

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

(607 posts)Would not enter in a misspelled word. I worked with a guy who misspelled a word and blamed autocorrect. Autocorrect might choose the wrong word, but it cant directly misspell a word. Autocorrect might choose there for their. But it wont ever offer up ther.
