Daily Docket — Tuesday, April 2

Here are some Trumpdates.

  • Former President Donald Trump and allies appealed a decision that allowed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to remain on the Georgia election subversion case.


  • Trump’s former attorney, John Eastman, has officially lost his law license after a California judge recommended he be disbarred for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.


Here are some other updates.

  • In a win for voters, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Washington Republicans' emergency request to block the state from adopting new legislative districts that fairly represent Latino voters. The new map will be in place for the 2024 elections.


  • A lawsuit challenging North Carolina voter suppression law Senate Bill 747 can continue, a federal court ruled after denying a request from lawmakers to dismiss the lawsuit. The challenged law makes it more likely for new voters to have their ballots rejected.


  • The Northern District of Texas — the area where Republicans have been accused of filing lawsuits to judge shop, like the mifepristone case before the Supreme Court — said it will not follow a new advisory rule about random case assignment.


Georgia’s latest voter suppression law could remove even more voters from the rolls ahead of the election, Marc writes in his latest.

  • Last week, the Georgia General Assembly passed a new voter suppression law that makes it easier for individual citizens to challenge others’ voter eligibility en masse.


  • Hundreds of thousands of Georgia voters have already been subjected to mass challenges over the past three years and it’s spreading like a virus, Marc explains in his latest piece.
