SAVE tool is looking for noncitizen voters. But it's flagging U.S. citizens too; Wisconsin clerks hope new law can alleviate statewide election official shortage; Georgia considers rules on when to use hand-marked ballots in election emergencies: electionline.org/news/2025/12...

Excellent webinar featuring one of my favorite topics - Military & Overseas Voting - discussed by some of my favorite colleagues and friends!

Enjoyed discussing redistricting wars, voting rights, and communities of interest today at Widener Delaware Law School. As a redistricting nerd, I was energized but the legal audience found the relative lack of national guardrails normatively depressing.

Enjoyed this discussion on the effect of Prop 50's new redistricting map on Asian American voters & more with @caltechlcssp.bsky.social's @rmichaelalvarez.bsky.social & UCLA's Natalie Masuoka - and not just because I was name-checked!🙂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3-m...
