Daily Docket — Wednesday, June 7

Today, former Vice President Mike Pence (R) officially launched his campaign for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Catch up on his stance on voting rights here.

Here are some updates you may have missed.

• According to reporting in Votebeat Arizona, Mohave County is considering a plan to hand count all ballots in next year’s elections — despite warnings from the secretary of state and election officials that hand-counting ballots would be costly, inaccurate and likely illegal.

• A package of voting reforms is awaiting action from Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D). The reforms include allowing teenagers to pre-register to vote and expanding the number of vote centers (where anyone can vote regardless of precinct) in populous areas.

Here’s what to expect coming up.

• Tomorrow, the U.S. Supreme Court will release opinions at 10 a.m. ET. The Court may release decisions in any of the cases already argued this term, including the major elections cases Allen v. Milligan and Moore v. Harper.
