NEW: The DOJ argued a legal doctrine that courts should avoid last-minute changes to election rules isn't relevant to its bid to disenfranchise 20k Californians it alleges are noncitizens. Why? Because doing so weeks away from the midterms should be "simple." https://demdock.com/47MUk4P

I have $5 on the Brewers. But Simpson! Wow!

WIN: Last week, the 7th Circuit denied a right-wing request for a full rehearing of its request for access to Wisconsin’s complete voter registration list, which includes private data. The move comes after a three-judge panel for the circuit and a lower court already ruled against the group.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) claims a legal doctrine that courts should avoid last-minute changes to election rules to avoid confusion isn’t relevant to its effort to bar California from counting the votes of 20,000 people on a list of alleged noncitizens. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Here is the TLDR of the 9th Circuit hearing: DOJ will lose. It will be either 2-1 or 3-0. It will be on jurisdiction and perhaps on the merits. The argument was a debacle for Trump and the DOJ lawyer who argued it. Watch for details. www.youtube.com/live/EsuYPbm...

The Trump administration keeps changing how it describes the more than 20,000 people it wants California to block from voting. Why does it matter? It’s basing extraordinary election relief on a list whose certainty has been described in markedly different ways: https://demdock.com/4iDbuId

NEW: In his continued defense of a DOJ lawsuit to block Alaska's Senate election results should a Democrat win, AG Todd Blanche blamed the state's ranked choice voting system for causing confusion. It's just the latest scapegoat in the Trump administration's campaign to stoke fear among voters.

Beautiful!

Over half of all mail ballots spoiled in North Carolina’s largest county are due to new strict rules passed by the GOP-controlled state board of elections. The county is also a Democratic stronghold that could sway election results in the battleground state.

NEW: Mail ballots in North Carolina's largest county are being rejected at rates higher than the rest of the state — over 50% are due to a new GOP rule on envelope sealing. "We've had voters who we've had to mail them four or five different ballots," one official said. https://demdock.com/4dU9RTT

NEW: Blanche claims DOJ's Alaska lawsuit doesn't seek to block certification of the state's election results. The actual complaint says it does. His attempt to reframe the lawsuit is a bid to push back against how it's been correctly interpreted: a dangerous effort to subvert the midterms.

NEW: Trump is already working to undermine the midterms, most ominously by filing lawsuits likely aimed at laying a foundation to challenge results or contest certification after Election Day. And administration officials say there could be more to come. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
