By Madeleine Greenberg

* The Louisiana Legislature will begin ([link removed]) a special session next week to consider major changes to the state Supreme Court and redraw the state’s congressional map after a court ruled the current map violates the Voting Rights Act.
* Michigan's independent redistricting commission asked ([link removed]) the U.S. Supreme Court to pause a decision striking down certain state House and Senate districts for racial gerrymandering and block new maps from being implemented.
* During last night’s Republican presidential debate on CNN, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley voiced ([link removed]) her support for anti-voting measures, such as requiring voter ID, implementing signature matching and counting all ballots on Election Day.
Here’s what to expect coming up.
* On Monday, the presidential primaries will kick off with the Iowa Caucuses. As evidenced by Haley’s comments at the debate last night, the Republican candidates are united against democracy. Read our in-depth guide on each candidate’s record on voting rights here ([link removed]) .
