Here are some SCOTUS updates.

• Special Counsel Jack Smith asked the U.S. Supreme Court to immediately decide whether former President Donald Trump has immunity from criminal prosecution for his attempts to subvert the 2020 election.

• Texas voters asked the Supreme Court to review a lawsuit challenging a state law requiring anyone under the age of 65 to have a qualifying excuse to vote by mail. The voters argue the law discriminates based on age, violating the 26th Amendment.

• The Supreme Court did not announce whether it would review more voting rights cases this term. Matters before the Court involve Washington's legislative map and Arkansas' congressional map. 

Here are some other updates.

• Thirteen Republican-led states filed a brief in the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals supporting Louisiana's argument that voters cannot sue to enforce Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, further escalating GOP attacks on the landmark civil rights legislation.

• Wisconsin Secretary of State Sarah Godlewsk (D) called for Republican Bob Spindell to be removed from the Wisconsin Elections Commission for serving as a fake Trump elector in the 2020 election. Learn more about Spindell here.

Here’s what's coming up.

• Tomorrow is the deadline for voters and civil rights groups to object to Georgia's new maps in federal court. If objections are filed, the court will hold a hearing on Dec. 20 to determine whether the new districts violate the Voting Rights Act.
