A Dangerous Legal Theory Returns for 2024 ([link removed])

By Marc Elias

Here are some recent updates.
* Jenna Ellis, who served as an attorney for former President Donald Trump during his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, pleaded ([link removed]) guilty to one felony count in the Fulton County, Georgia election subversion case. Ellis must serve five years probation, pay $5,000 restitution, testify against co-defendants, provide documents and evidence to the court and more.
+ Mark Meadows was granted ([link removed]) immunity to testify under oath in Trump's Washington, D.C. election subversion case and spoke with Jack Smith's team multiple times.
* The North Carolina Senate passed ([link removed]) a congressional map with 10 GOP districts, three Democratic districts and one competitive district. The map heads to the state House and is not subject to the Democratic governor's veto. Read more about the process here. ([link removed])
+ Also, the North Carolina House map passed in its respective chamber and will be voted on by the state Senate tomorrow. The state Senate map must undergo one more reading before it can be voted on and be sent to the other chamber.

* The Michigan Court of Appeals affirmed ([link removed]) the decision to strike down several of the state's 2022 rules regulating partisan election challengers.

* The RNC and the Montana Republican Party moved ([link removed]) to defend a state law that imposes criminal penalties on people who are registered to vote in more than one state. A lawsuit argues the law could penalize voters who are unknowingly registered in multiple states.
