2022 Daily Docket — Tuesday, Oct. 18

Welcome back to Daily Docket! You can’t fight for the future of our democracy unless you know what’s happening, which is why over the next few weeks, we’ll send (almost) daily emails with the day’s voting rights news and courtroom updates that you need to know. Inboxes can get crowded as Election Day approaches, so don't worry — we'll keep these short and to the point. 

Here are some updates from today.

• The U.S. Supreme Court announced that oral argument in Moore v. Harper will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2022. A congressional redistricting case out of North Carolina, Moore gives the Court the opportunity to review the radical independent state legislature theory. 

• The ACLU of Nevada filed a new lawsuit in the Nevada Supreme Court challenging voting practices in Nye County, Nevada. The ACLU claims Nye is violating the Help America Vote Act, the Nevada Constitution and state law.

• Lehigh County, Pennsylvania said it won’t use drop boxes until ongoing litigation is resolved. The county is set to deploy five drop boxes on Oct. 24 and it’s possible the court issues a decision between now and then. We’ll keep you posted on more mail-in voting updates as they happen. 

Plus, read the latest from Marc on Republicans turning to courts to attack democracy.
