Here are some updates from today.

• A Trump-appointed judge dismissed a right-wing lawsuit seeking to invalidate North Dakota's extended mail-in ballot receipt deadline. North Dakota Secretary of State Michael Howe (R) called the decision "a win" for military and overseas voters.
   
  • Republicans filed a nearly identical legal challenge in Mississippi just a week ago. And an ongoing Republican lawsuit in Illinois leverages a similar challenge against the state’s absentee ballot receipt deadline. 

• Former President Donald Trump's trial for his Washington, D.C. election subversion indictment has been delayed. It was originally scheduled to begin March 4. No new trial date has been set.

• After the Wisconsin Supreme Court ordered new legislative maps last month, redistricting experts appointed by the court reported that districts proposed by Republicans are partisan gerrymanders and should not be enacted.

• Ohio voters filed a lawsuit challenging Attorney General Dave Yost's (R) rejection of a proposed voting rights ballot measure. The measure would enact automatic voter registration, no-excuse mail-in voting and more.

• Voters in Huntington Beach, California will decide whether city officials can implement photo ID requirements for municipal elections. California's attorney general and secretary of state warn that requiring photo ID to vote conflicts with state law.

Here’s what to expect coming up on Monday.

• At 12:30 p.m. EST, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will hold oral argument in a right-wing lawsuit challenging a host of California’s mail-in voting laws and procedures.

• All reply briefs are due in the Colorado case currently before the U.S. Supreme Court that challenges Trump’s eligibility to appear on the state’s primary ballot.
