\n \n \nBy Andrew Wyrich \u00b7 Newsletter Editor\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Hello, pro-democracy readers! In news that broke just minutes ago, a federal appeals court ordered Missouri to reinstate a GOP gerrymandered map that eliminates a Democratic district. The order sets up a last-minute rush to the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS).\n\u00a0\nMeanwhile, Democrats want to see a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) \u201cchecklist\u201d for law enforcement on \u201cvoter integrity.\u201d\n\u00a0\nAll that and more is on the docket today. See you tomorrow!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Missouri ordered to use gerrymandered map for midterms after shocking reversal by appeals court\nA federal appeals court on Monday ordered Missouri to reinstate a gerrymandered map that eliminates a Democratic district in Kansas City, even though the state has already begun distributing ballots to some voters.\nThe 8th Circuit\u2019s decision is in direct conflict with a Missouri Supreme Court ruling blocking the gerrymander, setting up a last-minute rush to the U.S. Supreme Court, whose stay motion against the map remains in effect.\n\u27a4 More on this breaking news\n\u00a0\nDHS created a \u2018law enforcement voter integrity\u2019 checklist, new filing reveals. Dems want to see it\nDemocrats are demanding to see a DHS \u201cchecklist\u201d for law enforcement on \u201cvoter integrity.\u201d\nThe existence of the 12-page document \u2014 which appears to have been created last year \u2014 raises more questions about potential Trump administration plans to use armed federal agents to disrupt voting.\n\u27a4 What is the document?\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Our new bulletin board is live. Find ways you can volunteer, attend rallies,\u00a0write petitions and much more.\n \n \n \n \n EXPLORE THE BULLETIN BOARD\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Deadly Minnesota surge, other ICE operations show Trump already using agency to sway election, lawsuit warns\nThe Trump administration\u2019s demand for Minnesota\u2019s voting records as a condition of winding down last winter\u2019s deadly immigration crackdown is one part of how federal law enforcement is interfering with elections, civil rights groups argued in a lawsuit trying to bar ICE from polling places.\n\u27a4 What are they arguing? \n\u00a0\nFewer Democrats say they will vote by mail after Trump\u2019s failed assault\nTrump\u2019s all-out assault on mail voting has come at a time when more Democrats use it. But voting advocates have warned that the months-long uncertainty over Trump\u2019s anti-mail voting order may still have shaken confidence in mail voting.\nIt seems they were right. Now, fewer Democratic voters say they plan to vote by mail in the midterms, compared to how many did so in 2024.\n\u27a4 How Trump\u2019s voting uncertainty has impacted Democratic voters\n\u00a0\nDHS ignored court by continuing work on voter citizenship lists without notice, Democrats allege\nThe Trump administration violated a court order when it failed to provide updates on its efforts to compile lists of voting-age citizens in each state, Democrats said in a recent court filing. \nThe so-called \u201cState Citizenship Lists\u201d are part of Trump\u2019s anti-mail voting executive order. But Democrats suing to block those efforts said on several occasions they have only learned what steps DHS was taking through public reporting after the fact.\nNow, Democrats are asking a federal judge to force DHS to disclose what steps it is taking to fulfill Trump\u2019s demand that suspected non-citizens be purged from voter rolls.\n\u27a4 Inside how the administration has \u201cshirked the Court\u2019s instruction\u201d\nSenate Dems call for California probe into new DHS whistleblower allegations\nDemocratic Sens. Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla called on California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) to review new whistleblower allegations that DHS agents recently used Californians\u2019 sensitive personal information to improperly access the state\u2019s voting records.\n\u27a4 What did the senators say to the attorney general?\n\u00a0\nMore on DHS: Democrats are alarmed by document listing places distributing non-English election info \nDemocratic officials say it\u2019s \u201cextremely concerning\u201d that a DHS document lists places where election information is distributed in multiple languages, suggesting the agency could target jurisdictions with large immigrant and non-English-speaking populations as it seeks to validate false claims of widespread illegal voting by noncitizens.\n\u27a4 Read about their concerns\n\u00a0\nCalifornia enacts new election safeguards against potential Trump interference in midterms\nCalifornia Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a sweeping package of election laws that includes a measure making it a felony to seize ballots, election records or voting technology before an election is certified.\n\u27a4 What are California\u2019s new election laws? \nVoting rights lawsuit prompts South Dakota to fix \u2018confusing\u2019 proof-of-citizenship system\nA federal judge denied a voting rights group\u2019s request to block part of South Dakota\u2019s new proof-of-citizenship voting system after the state changed its voter notices and gave the group much of what it had asked for.\n\u27a4 Why this is a win for pro-voters\n\u00a0\nReport: Top DOJ official threatens to fire prosecutors who refuse to pursue voter fraud cases\nA senior DOJ official warned federal prosecutors that they could be fired if they refused to pursue voter fraud cases brought to them by the FBI or DHS.\n\u27a4 Why the warning is being called \u2018outrageous\u2019\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Here we share noteworthy briefs on all things voting rights and democracy. Have a footnote for us? Send it\u00a0to newsletters@democracydocket.com.\nSeveral news organizations are suing the Trump administration after it banned reporters from outlets including CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House. They are arguing the ban violates the First Amendment. \nThat decision may be \u201cbackfiring\u201d because Trump held an event with no audio available, after other networks stopped pool reports in solidarity with the banned outlets. \nTrump\u2019s approval rating just hit an all-time low. A new poll from American Research Group found that he dipped to just 29% \u2014 lower than it\u2019s ever been during either of his terms.
