Donald Trump’s Plot Against America ([link removed])

By Marc Elias

Here are some updates from today.
* A third lawsuit challenging North Carolina's new congressional and legislative maps was filed ([link removed]) . The plaintiffs allege that the maps are racially gerrymandered and violate the Voting Rights Act.
* A federal court in Mississippi heard a legal challenge ([link removed]) to an anti-democratic law that creates a new, unelected court system in the state capital of Jackson. Plaintiffs argue that law discriminates against the county's majority-Black population.
* Also in Mississippi, election officials in Hinds County said ([link removed]) they sent the wrong voter form to the printers, resulting in several polling places running out of ballots last month. “It was a complete human error,” District 2 Commissioner RaToya Gilmer McGee said.
* Arizona's federal-only voters — those who haven't provided proof of citizenship to vote in local elections under state law — are concentrated on college campuses, meaning young voters are disproportionately impacted by these laws, Votebeat reports ([link removed]) .

Here are some Trumpdates.
* North Carolina election officials dismissed ([link removed]) a complaint seeking to disqualify former President Donald Trump from the state's presidential primary ballot under the 14th Amendment. The decision does not prevent a later challenge to Trump's placement on the general ballot.
* Later today, the Colorado Supreme Court is expected to release a decision in a 14th Amendment lawsuit seeking to disqualify Trump from the state’s primary ballot.
* Need help sorting through the 20+ lawsuits trying to kick Trump off the ballot? In the latest — and last — podcast of the year, Marc and Paige explain what these lawsuits are doing, the issues they face and when decisions might come down. Watch on YouTube here. ([link removed])

Here’s what to expect coming up tomorrow.
* At 9 a.m. EST, there will be a remedial hearing in a consolidated lawsuit ([link removed]) over Georgia’s legislative and congressional maps.
