Trump's DOJ makes its most sweeping demand for election data yet

This is a snip from the middle of the article...

"Under federal law, election officials must preserve records for 22 months after a federal election.

Riordan acknowledged that the 22-month window had passed for the 2020 election, but wrote, "If you still have those records from the 2020 federal elections in your possession we are requesting preservation of those records."
