* In Michigan, nine of the 16 people charged ([link removed]) last month for their role in a false electors plot to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election were arraigned ([link removed]) on felony charges in a state court.
* In North Carolina, officials at the State Board of Elections said ([link removed]) they will eliminate the option for voters to cast a provisional ballot if they didn't know that a photo ID is required to vote under a state law that was recently upheld by the North Carolina Supreme Court.

Here’s what to expect coming up.
* A hearing ([link removed]) on a protective order motion in Trump's 2020 election subversion case will be held ([link removed]) tomorrow at 10 am.
