Daily Docket — Thursday, Nov. 3

As of today, we’ve tracked 170 lawsuits filed in 2022 across 35 states. 102 of these lawsuits are currently active and ongoing. Of the lawsuits, three are likely to have important rulings before Election Day. (That number is down from seven yesterday, as four outstanding cases had updates today. You can read about those decisions — all positive outcomes for voters — below.)

Here are some updates from today.
