Here are some Trumpdates.
* A Michigan judge allowed ([link removed]) former President Donald Trump to remain on the state's presidential primary ballot, rejecting a lawsuit arguing that the 14th Amendment prevents Trump from running again due to his involvement in the Jan 6. insurrection.
+ The judge also ruled ([link removed]) in a separate lawsuit brought by Trump that Michigan’s secretary of state does not have the authority to determine whether Trump can appear on the state's primary ballot.
* A federal court in Arizona held ([link removed]) a hearing in another 14th Amendment lawsuit seeking to disqualify Trump from the state’s ballot for the 2024 presidential election.
* In newly leaked videos released today, former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis admitted she believed ([link removed]) that Trump was out of options to challenge the results of the 2020 election after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected ([link removed]) a lawsuit that sought to invalidate 20 million votes, though that did little to deter the former reality TV star. Read more about the lawsuit here ([link removed]) .
Here are some other updates.
* A federal court held ([link removed]) a hearing in a lawsuit challenging a North Carolina law that imposes criminal penalties on residents who vote while on parole or probation for a felony conviction, even if they mistakenly believe they are eligible to vote.
* A bipartisan group of U.S. House members introduced ([link removed]) a bill to improve the tracking capabilities for mail-in ballot envelopes.
Here’s what to expect coming up.
* Tomorrow at 1 p.m. EST, New York’s highest court will hold oral argument in a redistricting lawsuit ([link removed]) to determine if the Independent Redistricting Commission must reconvene and draw a new congressional map ahead of next year’s elections. Follow along tomorrow as we live-tweet ([link removed]) the oral argument.
