* Cleta Mitchell's right-wing legal group appealed ([link removed]) a federal court’s ruling — which found that Michigan does not have to provide voter roll maintenance records to a right-wing group — to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The group claimed that Michigan failed to maintain accurate voter rolls and that thousands of voters should be purged from the lists.
* In a win for voters, a federal judge dismissed ([link removed]) a lawsuit from Pennsylvania Republicans that used a debunked legal theory to challenge expansive voter registration efforts supported by President Joe Biden and Gov. Josh Shapiro (D).

Here are some other updates you may have missed.
* Washington Republicans filed ([link removed]) an emergency request in the U.S. Supreme Court to block the state from adopting new legislative districts that fairly represent Latino voters. The previous map was struck down for violating the Voting Rights Act.
* The New York City Council has appealed ([link removed]) a decision that struck down the city's noncitizen voting law to New York's highest court. The law allows some legal residents — including Dreamers and those with green cards — to vote in municipal elections.
* For the first time ever, Connecticut voters can head to the polls early for the upcoming primary election on April 2 thanks to a new state law allowing for two weeks of early voting. Read more about the law here. ([link removed])
+ Over 60% of Connecticut voters passed an amendment in 2022 to allow the legislature to enact early voting. A lawsuit ([link removed]) was filed challenging the measure, saying it will cause "ballot security and election integrity" issues. The case was promptly dismissed.
* Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar (D) called ([link removed]) for more federal funding for elections after a coding “glitch” impacted the state’s primary. Aguilar said more funds for election workers and equipment would prevent similar problems in the future.

From blatant gerrymandering to power grabs, it’s clear that the North Carolina GOP is committed to anti-democracy. In our latest podcast that dropped this morning, North Carolina state Rep.
