Judicial Watch: Election Integrity, Voter Roll Cleanup, and Immigration Lawsuits

Supreme Court and Post-Election Day Ballots

• 🏛️ Judicial Watch is awaiting a Supreme Court decision on whether to hear a challenge to a lower court ruling that found the counting of ballots arriving after election day unlawful.
• 🗳️ Mississippi law allows ballots to arrive up to five days after election day, while Illinois allows 14 days and California seven days, with at least 19 states and D.C. counting ballots received after election day.
• ⚖️ The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in Judicial Watch's favor, deeming the counting of post-election day ballots unlawful, a decision Mississippi has appealed to the Supreme Court.
• ❓ The Supreme Court has also heard arguments on whether candidates have the standing to challenge such election laws, a related but distinct issue.

Voter Roll Integrity and Non-Citizen Voters

• 🧐 Judicial Watch filed an amicus brief concerning access to voter records, highlighting a Third Circuit decision that denied standing to challenge the denial of access to voter rolls.

Immigration Lawsuits and Sanctuary Policies

• 🏛️ The lawsuits seek communications and documentation related to these governors' stances on immigration enforcement and their involvement in political maneuvers that obstruct federal law.
