Here are some updates from today.

• Wisconsin's Republican-controlled Senate voted to remove the state's top elections official, Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) administrator Meagan Wolfe.

  • Shortly after, Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul (D) filed a lawsuit arguing that the Senate's vote to remove Wolfe has no legal effect and that she is still the "lawful" administrator of the WEC.  

• A federal judge stuck down parts of Arizona voter suppression law House Bill 2492. Among its provisions, the law requires strict proof of citizenship to vote. 

• There will be at least two trials in the Fulton County election subversion case, as a judge separated Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell's cases from Trump and all other defendants. Chesebro and Powell's trial begins on Oct. 23.
