I love me some Jamie Ding - Jeopardy champ Jamie Ding looks to block Trump from NJ voter rolls

https://www.aol.com/articles/jeopardy-champ-jamie-ding-looks-233231047.html

With 31 wins under his belt (and counting), Jeopardy! superchampion and New Jerseyan Jamie Ding has a new rival in his sights: the Trump Administration.

Ding, a resident of Lawrence Township in Mercer County and Seton Hall University Law School, filed a motion to intervene in the U.S. Department of Justice's lawsuit demanding New Jersey election officials turn over voter rolls to the federal government. The lawsuit was filed in February in federal court under the auspices of inspecting and cross-checking voter rolls to seek improper registrations.

"Accurate, well-maintained voter rolls are a requisite for the election integrity that the American people deserve," then-Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a press release announcing the lawsuits against New Jersey and four other states. "This latest series of litigation underscores that this Department of Justice is fulfilling its duty to ensure transparency, voter roll maintenance, and secure elections across the country."

A motion to intervene is filed by a third party seeking to enter into a lawsuit becuase they have a stake in the outcome, allowing them to file briefs and participate in oral arguments.

Ding, 33, is one of them.

Well actually, I just saw retweets I think. I wonder if he is on bluesky and if he is still as outspoken.

I've grown really fond of him and I like the way he runs the show. Alex would approve.

he reposted this:

New Jersey's 23-game Jeopardy champion Jamie Ding is more than a self-described faceless bureaucrat. He allocates Low-Income Housing Tax Credits ("LIHTC") to fund affordable housing construction across New Jersey.

We used his historic run to explain LIHTC!
