Here are some updates you may have missed.

This afternoon, the U.S. Senate voted 50-49 to confirm President Joe Biden’s 100th federal district court judge nominee, Natasha Merle, to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

Yesterday, Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) vetoed seven election bills passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature. The bills would have shortened the deadline to return a mail-in ballot, made more voter information publicly available and more. On Friday, she also vetoed a bill that would have allowed any county in the state to replace the electronic count of ballots with a hand count.

Here’s what to expect coming up.

Tomorrow, at 10 a.m EDT, the U.S. Supreme Court will issue opinions in previously argued cases. We could get a decision in Moore v. Harper, the landmark case about the fringe independent state legislature theory.

Also tomorrow, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear oral argument in a lawsuit challenging Kentucky's policy that arbitrarily dictates which individuals with a previous felony conviction will regain the right to vote.
