In a major victory for voters, a federal court struck down a portion of Texas voter suppression law Senate Bill 1 — which enacted new ID requirements for mail-in ballots — for violating the Materiality Provision of the Civil Rights Act. Litigation against other provisions of S.B. 1 is ongoing and trial will begin on Sept. 11, 2023. Stay up to date with the case here.
-
In a blow to accessibility, a federal appeals court upheld an Indiana law that requires voters under the age of 65 to have an excuse to vote by mail. A lawsuit argued that the law discriminates against younger voters and violates the 26th Amendment.
-
The Wisconsin Supreme Court agreed to hear a case arguing that the state's legislative maps are extreme partisan gerrymanders that unfairly benefit Republicans.
-
North Carolina Republicans passed omnibus voter suppression bill Senate Bill 747. The legislation now heads to Gov. Roy Cooper (D) for his likely veto, but Republicans have enough votes to override his veto.
-
An evidentiary hearing has been scheduled for Aug. 28 on Mark Meadows' request to move his Fulton County, Georgia charges to federal court. Aug. 28 is the same day that a status conference is scheduled in Trump's Washington, D.C. election subversion case.
