U.S. Department of Commerce, a lawsuit seeking to exclude undocumented persons and holders of temporary visas from the census count used to allocate congressional seats and Electoral College votes.

After months of legal battles, public pressure, and warnings of further federal litigation, the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has fixed a long-standing issue that prevented thousands of eligible young voters from registering. In a renewed effort led by the SC NAACP and the League of Women Voters of SC, the organizations sent a letter warning the agencies not following the federal law. The following day, the DMV responded, confirming it had updated its in-house software system, Phoenix, to capture and transmit voter registration information for individuals aged 16 and older.
