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.

United Stated District Court for Nevada (No. 2:24-cv-00518)
Issue(s):
The RNC is suing Nevada Secretary of State Aguilar challenging the state's voter roll maintenance. They state that at least three counties in Nevada have more active registered voters than adults over the age of 18. The plaintiff argues that this is due to poor voter roll maintenance, in violation of Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act and asks the court to implement a program to remove ineligible voters from voter rolls.
The RNC is challenging Nevada's policy of counting non-postmarked ballots received within three days of Election Day. Plaintiffs argue that the described policy violates existing Nevada law requiring ballots to be postmarked and submitted on or before Election Day. The complaint sets out a prayer for both declaratory and injunctive relief to block non-postmarked ballots from being counted in the November 2024 election.

Issue(s):
The RNC is suing Michigan Secretary of State Benson challenging the state's voter roll maintenance. They state that 53 counties in Michigan have more active registered voters than adults over the age of 18. The plaintiff argues that this is due to poor voter roll maintenance, in violation of Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act and asks the court to implement a program to remove ineligible voters from voter rolls.
United Stated District Court for Nevada (No. 3:24-cv-00198)
Issue(s):
The RNC is challenging a Nevada mail-in ballot law which allows mail-in ballots to be received up to four days after election day and assumes that ballots received within three days of election day were postmarked on election day. They argue that this violates the US Constitutuion and federal law, violates the rights of the RNC's candidates because it cannot prevail when ballots are counted after election day without investing in significant post-election activity and they argue that the law violates an individual's right to vote because it dilutes lawfully submitted votes by counting unlawfully submitted votes. The RNC asks the court to find the mail-in ballot receipt deadline to be unconstitutional and to temporarily and permanently block Nevada from counting ballots received after election day.
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (1:21-cv-02184); For new filings see, In Re: Georgia Senate Bill 202 (1:21-MI-55555-JPB)
Issue(s):
Plaintiffs challenge several provisions of Georgia SB 202 as violative of the 14th Amendment and Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. AME Church points in particular to the importance of early and weekend voting, especially Sundays, when churches encourage voting through "Souls to the Polls" events. Plaintiffs argue that each of SB 202's challenged provisions independently make it more difficult for historically disenfranchised communities to vote, and cumulatively, impose an even more severe burden.
