\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nBy Sally Holtgrieve \u00b7 Senior Editor, News and Operations\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Trump administration quietly removed public information meant to help U.S. citizens born and living abroad to vote. Rude! Don\u2019t worry, we have the screenshots to prove it. The move is part of a sweeping attack by the administration on access to the ballot for Americans living overseas \u2014 driven by the belief that they\u2019re more likely to vote Democratic.\n\u00a0\nSpeaking of targeting Democrats, a New Jersey county official is attempting his own voter-purge scheme ahead of the midterms. The state\u2019s ACLU is prepared to sue.\n\u00a0\nAs usual, a lot more happened today. We sum it all up for you below.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Exclusive: Trump administration removes resources to help U.S. citizens born abroad vote\nThe Trump administration quietly removed state-by-state guidance from a federal voter assistance manual that previously told U.S. citizens born and living abroad whether they were eligible to vote in each state, according to documents reviewed by Democracy Docket.\nThe removal was noted deep in a new Democratic lawsuit that challenges Trump administration changes to the form used by overseas voters to register and request absentee ballots.\n\u27a4 Why the administration is targeting these voters\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 Trump-pardoned New Jersey GOP operative allegedly schemed to purge Democratic voters ahead of midterms\nA local Republican official in New Jersey allegedly targeted Democratic and unaffiliated voters for eligibility challenges while leaving Republicans in the same situation untouched. \nThe Ocean County Board of Elections then acted on that list, launching an eligibility review that could put those voters at risk just weeks before the midterm election.\nAt the center of the controversy is George Gilmore, who was convicted on federal tax and bank-related charges in 2019 and sentenced to more than a year in prison. He later received a full pardon from President Donald Trump. In June, the county GOP unanimously reelected him as its chairman.\n\u27a4 More on this wild story\n\u00a0\nDOD tells senator it has \u2018no plan\u2019 for troops at polls. But she has \u2018no idea what Trump will do\u2019\nA Department of Defense official wrote in a letter there are no plans to deploy active-duty troops to the polls or \"interfere\" with election-related materials.\nBut the response brings little comfort as top Trump administration officials have refused to rule out the option for the fall.\n\u27a4 Read the full story \n\u00a0\nTrump judge dismisses challenge to strict Florida voter registration law as \u2018manufactured by meddlers\u2019\nIn a loss for voters, a federal judge dismissed a challenge to a Florida voter registration policy that civil rights groups say disproportionately impacts Black applicants and other people of color.\n\u27a4 The policy pro-voters argue bars nearly 80,000 eligible voters\n\u00a0\nGeorgia election board asks DOJ to declare state\u2019s voting machines unlawful\nThe Republican-controlled Georgia State Election Board invited the DOJ to declare the state\u2019s voting system unlawful before the upcoming midterm elections. Today\u2019s letter asked the DOJ to \u201cprohibit\u201d the state\u2019s use of voting machines previously certified by the federal government.\n\u27a4 More on the board\u2019s demands\n\u00a0\nMeanwhile, Fulton County\u2019s absentee ballot policy challenge dismissed as moot\nA Georgia court dismissed the RNC's lawsuit challenging Fulton County\u2019s absentee ballot drop-off policy.\nThe policy allowed voters to return absentee ballots at 22 advance voting locations, which Republicans argued unlawfully created additional ballot drop-off locations beyond those allowed under Georgia law. However, the court concluded it lacks jurisdiction to hear the case because the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections has ended the policy.\n\u27a4 The latest in Fulton County\n\u00a0\nWhy Ken Paxton could cause chaos if he loses his Senate race\nTexas\u2019 top election denier, its GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate and its top law enforcement official are all the same person: Attorney General Ken Paxton (R).\nPaxton currently trails his Democratic opponent in recent polls. Democrats flipping reliably red Texas would be an earthquake in a year that\u2019s trending toward a blue wave in Congress.\nAs the state\u2019s top attorney, Paxton is armed with a unique suite of powers to challenge the outcome if he loses.\n\u27a4 Here\u2019s what the experts said\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.\nGOP Senator Eric Schmitt (Mo.) accused former special counsel Jack Smith of attending an Atlanta Hawks game, falsely suggesting the former prosecutor colluded with Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis, who had previously led the election interference case against Trump. The problem? Jack Smith was nowhere near the Atlanta Hawks. He was at an IOWA HAWKEYES game. We're here to clear up a few things for Schmitt.\nThe Reflecting Pool vandalism charges against Olympic canoeist Davey Hearn were officially dismissed today, and the judge blasted the government\u2019s actions. \nWe are aware Trump doesn\u2019t grasp the concept of a free press, but this still raised an eyebrow. Trump to Time Magazine staff regarding their interview: \u201cYou haven't asked me one f\u2013ing positive question. All of this. What about this? What about that? What about that? What about this? All negative.\u201d\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Today's newsletter was edited by Matthew Kupfer\u00a0and Dave O\u2019Brien, and produced by Leila Fusenig. Learn more about our staff here.",
