Louisiana, Appellant v. Phillip Callais, et al.: Does Louisiana’s creation of a second majority-Black congressional district constitute unconstitutional racial gerrymandering, even when drawn in response to a federal court finding that the state’s prior single majority-Black district likely violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act?
Michael Watson, Mississippi Secretary of State, Petitioner v. Republican National Committee, et al.: Do the federal election-day statutes preempt a state law that allows ballots that are cast by federal election day to be received by election officials after that day?
Michael J. Bost, et al., Petitioners v. Illinois State Board of Elections, et al.: Do federal candidates have Article III standing to challenge state laws that allow mail-in ballots to be received and counted for two weeks after Election Day based on claims that such laws dilute their votes and force them to incur additional campaign expenses for extended ballot monitoring?
