On September 16, the federal government sued Oregon and Maine because those states have refused to submit an unredacted list of its registered voters to the U.S. Department of Justice. The federal government says it suspects Oregon and Maine are violating the National Voting Rights Act (NVRA) by not keeping its list of voters cleared of ineligible voters.

The Oregon case is USA v State of Oregon, 6:25cv-1666. Here is the Complaint.
The case is assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai, a Biden appointee.

The Maine case is USA v Bellows, 1:25cv-468. Here is the Complaint. It is assigned to Magistrate Karen Frink Wolf. Magistrates are not appointed by presidents.

The Missouri U.S. House redistricting bill, which was passed by the legislature earlier this month, appears to have a drafting flaw. Precinct KC 811 is in both the Fourth District and the Fifth District. Governor Mike Kehoe says there are two different precincts with the designation KC 811. But even still, there is no way to know which precinct with that name is in each district. See this story.

This may be why Governor Kehoe still hasn’t signed the bill, HB 1, even though it was sent to him on September 12.

This analysis by the National Conference of State Legislatures points out that 35 states still permit “sore losers” to be write-in candidates in the general election.
