Daily Docket — Friday, Nov. 4

As of today, we’ve tracked 172 lawsuits filed in 2022 across 35 states. 106 of these lawsuits are currently active and ongoing. Of the lawsuits, six are likely to have important rulings before Election Day.

Here are some updates from today.

The Pennsylvania NAACP, Pennsylvania League of Women Voters and other nonpartisan organizations filed a lawsuit in federal court trying to compel Pennsylvania county boards to count undated and wrongly dated mail-in ballots. Counties are currently ordered to reject these ballots, but the latest lawsuit argues that doing so violates the Materiality Provision of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The Republican National Committee filed a lawsuit requesting that the Nevada Supreme Court compel Clark County, Nevada to add more Republican members to its “signature verification board,” a group of temporary staff hired by the county to assist with the signature verification process. (A district court has already rejected this request.)

The Republican commissioner of Dutchess County, New York appealed yesterday’s court order to open a polling location on Vassar College's campus.
