Middle District of North Carolina (No. 1:23-cv-00837)
Issue(s):
Lawsuit challenging a North Carolina law that requires voter to reside in the state for at least 30 days before the election in which they seek to vote. Plaintiffs allege that 30 days is longer than the registration deadline and therefore voters who move to the state within 30 days of election day are prevented from voting in Presidential elections even though the state allows registrations 20 days before election day and through the Saturday before election day. Plaintiffs argue this violates Section 202 of the VRA, which prohibits states from preventing eligible voters from voting in Presidential election based on how long they have resided in the state before election day.

U.S District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (No. 1:22-cv-00339)
Issue(s):
On November 1st the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered the county boards of elections to not count undated or wrongly dated mail-in ballots. The plaintiffs ask that the defendants be prevented from rejecting these ballots. They argue that the date on which a voter signed their return envelope is immaterial because a ballot's timeliness under Pennsylvania law is determined by when it was received by the county board of elections. Thus, they argue the rejection of the ballots on these grounds violates the Materiality Provision of the Civil Rights Act.
