• A New Mexico court upheld the state's congressional map. The court found that while the map favors Democrats, it is not an "egregious gerrymander" and therefore does not violate the state constitution. 

• The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held oral argument in a case that will determine Louisiana's congressional map for the 2024 elections. Check out our live tweet of the argument here.

• The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a Tennessee law that makes it a felony for an individual to pass out mail-in ballot applications if they are not a state election employee.

• Proposed objections to Ohio’s new state legislative maps have been filed in all three ongoing legislative redistricting cases before the Ohio Supreme Court.
