A federal judge in Boston ruled for the third time on Friday that the #Trump admin’s plans to restrict #MailVoting are likely #illegal & it should be prevented from implementing them ahead of the #midterms.
Judge Indira Talwani had already temporarily blocked the #USPS from moving forward, in a ruling that was set to expire Sept 10. The new order extends that block indefinitely.

The National Republican Congressional Committee & National Republican Senatorial Committee then asked the #SCOTUS to intervene. They argued that the appeals court had acted too soon & broadcasters were already charging them higher rates & upending their planned budgets.
The high court’s decision halts the appeals court ruling while the #Republican committees appeal it.

Candidates pay discounted rates for TV time around an #election under federal #law, & in March the #FCC’s Media Bureau said certain party-coordinated ads are entitled to those prices as well.
Four #Democrats, including Sen #JonOssoff of Georgia & former Sen #SherrodBrown of Ohio, challenged the finding in court. They won a victory from a divided panel of the US 4th Circuit Court of appeals.

#Trump is going to have a field day with this —
Roughly 400 #noncitizens voted in #NewJersey after about 6,600 residents were improperly registered to vote between June 2023 & June 2024 because of a software error at the #DMV, Gov #MikieSherrill announced Tuesday.
ALL of the people affected had disclosed that they were not citizens when registering for either a driver’s license or ID, but were nonetheless placed on the voter rolls in error.

The remarkable development cuts short the roughly nine-year sentence that #TinaPeters, a former county clerk in Mesa County, #Colorado, was given after being convicted in 2024 for her role in a brazen plot to “examine” [tamper with] voting machines under her control after the #2020election. Peters had tried to prove that the machines had been used to rig the contest against #Trump.

Yet another entry from the“you’ve got to be shitting me” files:
#TinaPeters, #Colorado #ElectionDenier, Will Be Freed by Governor
Gov. #JaredPolis, a #Democrat 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻, commuted the sentence of Peters, a former county clerk serving a 9-year sentence for her role in a plot to tamper with voting machines after the #2020election.

#SCOTUS kills #VotingRights
The Supreme Court’s decision to upend a key provision of the #VotingRightsAct [#VRA] has plunged the nation into a dizzying new era of partisan conflict, most likely ushering in a forever #redistricting war that could produce fewer competitive seats in #Congress & further #polarize #US politics.

The #Republican dominated #House issued civil #ArrestWarrants intended to compel the return of absent members, but it was not immediately clearly whether those can or will be enforced beyond #Texas borders.
House Speaker Rep. Dustin Burrows urged #Democrats to return to “fulfill your duty.”
“If you continue to go down this road, there will be consequences,” he said.

In several #states, it asked detailed questions about the process to remove #noncitizens & other *ineligible* #voters from the rolls.
Grantham, the Fremont County clerk, said Small asked him if he would allow a third party to review whether his voting machines complied with #federal law. Grantham declined the request, he said, citing #state laws that restrict access to voting machines.

#Michigan AG #DanaNessel leveled #criminal charges Fri against 7 individuals who were allegedly involved in a flurry of DOUBLE VOTING in the primary #election in #StClairShores.
Nessel's office alleges that 4 people voted 2X - once in person on Election Day & once through an absentee ballot - & 3 assistant MUNICIPAL CLERKS ALLOWED the double voting to occur “significantly" breaking from rules. [I’d say]
