Here are a slew of updates from the past few days.

• Black and Latino voters sued over North Carolina's new Republican-drawn congressional map, arguing the map is racially gerrymandered and intentionally discriminates against minority voters. The voters asked the court to order new, fair districts.

• Voting rights groups appealed a decision upholding Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ (R) congressional map to the Florida Supreme Court. The groups argue the districts illegally diminish Black voting power.

• The Republican National Committee, Pennsylvania Republican Party and Richard Marino, a losing Republican candidate for local office, asked a court to pause a ruling striking down the practice of not counting valid mail-in ballots that are missing a handwritten date, or have the "incorrect" date, while the appeal is litigated.

• Civil rights groups intend to ask the entire U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals to rehear a case that ruled that private litigants cannot bring lawsuits under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA).

• After the 8th Circuit ruled private parties cannot sue under Section 2 of the VRA, Louisiana Republicans asked the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider its decision that ruled the opposite. This move threatens the VRA's enforcement in more states.

• Texas Republicans appealed a decision striking down parts of the state’s voter suppression law to the 5th Circuit. The provisions enacted ID requirements for mail-in ballots that resulted in tens of thousands of ballot rejections.

• Columbia County, Georgia became the first county in the U.S. to sign up for Republicans' new voter information database EagleAI. The software is one of the right’s replacements for ERIC as numerous GOP states left the group due to conspiracy theories. Learn more about EagleAI here.

• A federal judge denied former President Donald Trump's motion to dismiss his Washington, D.C. election subversion case, rejecting Trump's claims that he is "absolutely immune" from criminal charges for actions he took while serving as president.

• A court in Arkansas held a hearing today in a lawsuit challenging the state's congressional map. Plaintiffs argue that the map is racially gerrymandered and intentionally discriminates against Black voters, violating the 14th and 15th Amendments.

Here’s what to expect tomorrow.

• The U.S. Supreme Court will issue decisions tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. EST. We are looking out for a ruling in a case that challenges South Carolina’s congressional and state House maps for being racially gerrymandered.

ICYMI, listen to our latest episode of Defending Democracy. In the podcast episode that dropped last Friday, Marc and Paige spoke about the state of the Voting Rights Act, which was having a good year — until the 8th Circuit ruled that there’s no private right of action under the provision.
