How ID Requirements Harm Marginalized Communities and Their Right to Vote ([link removed])

By Devon Hesano

Here are some updates.
* Fair Maps Nevada filed ([link removed]) two ballot initiatives that would create an independent redistricting commission in the state. One petition requires new legislative and congressional maps to be redrawn in 2027 ([link removed]) , while the other version requires the maps to be redrawn in 2031 ([link removed]) .
* Louisiana lawmakers argued ([link removed]) they are unlikely to meet and redraw the state's congressional map by the court's Jan. 15, 2024 deadline, citing renovations to the state capitol and the holiday season.
* Michigan voters appealed ([link removed]) a decision allowing former President Donald Trump to remain on the state's 2024 presidential primary ballot. The plaintiffs also ask the state Supreme Court to immediately review the case, citing the need for a quick resolution.
* Election-denying U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake is attempting ([link removed]) to transfer her election contest from the Arizona appeals court directly to the state Supreme Court...for the fourth time. The court denied this request the last three ([link removed]) times. Lake is seeking to decertify the 2022 gubernatorial election and order a new election.
* Also in Arizona, a federal court held ([link removed]) oral argument in a lawsuit challenging two of the state’s voter suppression laws that mandate strict proof of citizenship for voting. The hearing is regarding whether lawmakers are required to release documents related to the law.
* The New Mexico Supreme Court will hear ([link removed]) oral argument on Nov. 20 in a Republican lawsuit challenging the state's congressional map. A lower court upheld the map, rejecting the GOP's claim that the map is "egregiously" gerrymandered to benefit Democrats.

Here’s what’s coming up.
* Tomorrow, trial will begin in a state-level lawsuit challenging ([link removed]) Missouri’s recently enacted strict photo ID requirement for voting. It is scheduled to end on Nov. 22.
