Daily Docket — Friday, May 17

Right-wing groups and figures continue to attack voting rights and threaten democracy.

* The Republican National Committee filed ([link removed]) a lawsuit against DeKalb County, Georgia to obtain public records related to funding the county received to support election management. Republicans allege the grant violates a state law that bans private election administration funding.
