Daily Docket — Wednesday, Nov. 2 |
As of today, we've tracked 169 lawsuits filed in 2022 across 35 states. 102 of these lawsuits are currently active and ongoing. Of the lawsuits, seven are likely to have important rulings before Election Day. |
Here are some updates from today. |
A Wisconsin judge declined to order the Wisconsin Elections Commission to clarify the definition of what constitutes a completed address on an absentee ballot witness certificate, maintaining that the address should include a street name, street number and municipality. The judge did not order clerks to uniformly apply this definition.
|
The U.S. Department of Justice filed an amicus brief in a case challenging Texas’ “wet signature” law, which requires voters to sign their names with pen on paper, rather than electronically, when registering to vote.
|
A Virginia judge ordered Prince William County to appoint more Republican chief or assistant chief election officers following a lawsuit alleging that the county failed to hire a sufficient number of Republican poll workers. A similar lawsuit that argued that Flint, Michigan did not hire enough Republican poll workers was dismissed.
