Earlier Friday, First Assistant #USAttorney #BillEssayli — a #Trump appointee who leads the #LosAngeles based US Attorney’s office—claimed his office had “multiple election ‘fraud’ investigations underway” in a social media post that bashed California’s #election system.
The US attorneys office in #LA confirmed that one of its lawyers was sent to observe the ballot counting….

The 1965 #VotingRightsAct, the #centerpiece legislation of the #CivilRights Movement, succeeded in opening the ballot box to #Black Americans & reducing persistent racial #discrimination in voting. Nearly 70 of the 435 congressional districts are protected by #Section2, #ElectionLaw expert Nicholas Stephanopoulos has estimated.

The order would use federal #data to help state #election officials verify who is “eligible” to #vote in their jurisdictions. It would also require #AbsenteeBallots to be sent only to voters on each state's “approved” mail-in ballot list & mandate “secure” ballot envelopes with unique tracking barcodes.

Texas has handed over its voter roll, covering 18.4 million registered voters, to the Justice Department, complying with federal demands amid ongoing legal battles. The data includes sensitive info like DOB, driver’s license, and last four SSN digits, raising privacy concerns. Critics argue this threatens voter privacy and could unlawfully purge eligible voters, with the DNC calling it a “power grab.” The DOJ claims it’s lawful, aiming to enforce election laws and clean voter rolls. This standoff highlights partisan tensions over voting data and election integrity.

DeWine, a term-limited #Republican, had warned #Ohio’s #GOP-led Legislature in 2023 that a sweeping package of #ElectionLaw changes he signed that year would likely be the last voting restrictions he would let past his veto pen. Election integrity in the state, he said, had been amply assured.
But, despite having reservations, DeWine on Friday signed legislation eliminating Ohio’s 4-day grace period for #AbsenteeBallots & making other voting changes.

Secretaries of state for #Michigan & #Nevada said in a Tuesday news conference that they & other secretaries will coordinate to oppose a wide-ranging #federal request for #VoterData.
The #Trump #DOJ earlier this month announced it has sued #Oregon & #Maine for failing to turn over their voter registration lists. That was the first time it brought lawsuits against #states in its effort to get detailed voter data.

#SCOTUS allows #Virginia effort to strike #SUSPECTED noncitizen voters
VA Gov #GlennYoungkin (R) asked the justices to intervene after lower courts blocked efforts to cancel registrations of #voters who COULD BE #noncitizens.

A coalition of #VotingRights groups in #Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit w/the State Supreme Court on Wednesday asking it to overturn a lower-court decision barring any #AbsenteeBallots w/a missing or incorrect date from being counted. The coalition asked the State Supreme Court to use its “king’s bench” authority — meaning to move expeditiously — to resolve the case.

# Here’s what’s left for the Supreme Court’s final week of the term
* The #SupremeCourt (#SCOTUS) is expected to release several major #decisions in its final week of the term, including rulings on #AffirmativeAction, #StudentLoan #payments, #ElectionLaw, and #LGBTQrights.
* The affirmative action case, Fisher v. University of Texas, could have a significant impact on college admissions policies across the country.
* The student loan case, Biden v. California, could determine whether the Biden administration can cancel student loan debt.
* The election law case, Moore v. Harper, could weaken state and federal election laws.
* The #LGBTQ #rights case, Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, could determine whether #businesses can #refuse to #serve #LGBTQ people on #religious grounds.
* The Supreme Court is expected to release its decisions on these cases by the end of the week.
* The decisions could have a major impact on American society, and they are being closely watched by both sides of the political spectrum.
* The affirmative action case is a challenge to the University of Texas's affirmative action program, which considers race as one factor in admissions decisions.
* The student loan case is a challenge to the Biden administration's plan to cancel up to $10,000 in student loan debt for borrowers.
* The election law case is a challenge to a North Carolina law that makes it more difficult for people to vote by mail.
* The LGBTQ rights case is a #challenge to a #Philadelphia #law that #requires #businesses that contract with the city to serve LGBTQ people.
