Here are some recent updates.

* The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declined ([link removed]) to rehear a case challenging Kentucky's process that arbitrarily dictates which individuals with a previous felony conviction will regain the right to vote. Previously, the court affirmed a decision that dismissed the lawsuit.
