Why haven't 10 House races in California been called yet?

  • Control of the U.S. House, which currently has a Republican majority, is still up for grabs since 18 races haven’t been called — and 10 of them are in California. Read here to learn about why these races haven't been called yet.

Election deniers sweep local races across battleground states​​​​

  • Although some votes are still being tallied, a clear picture has emerged in the wake of the 2024 election: Republicans won big in the presidential and federal elections. And in local races, election deniers swept their elections across battleground states.


  • For many of the candidates running against the election deniers, the race was always going to be an uphill battle. But that was the point of the effort: even in deep red districts, voters deserve to have a choice on the ballot.

Groups ask 5th Circuit to reconsider decision on late-arriving ballots

  • Pro-voter organizations asked the full 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider a three-judge panel’s decision that blocked a Mississippi law allowing election officials to count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day but received a few days after.


  • The request follows an Oct. 25 ruling from a trio of Trump-appointed judges who unanimously endorsed the Republican National Committee’s argument that Mississippi’s five-day post-election ballot receipt deadline effectively “extended” Election Day in violation of federal law. 

Trump is the next president — what will happen now?

  • Read here to learn about President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed policies regarding voting rights, abortion rights and democracy, which are part of Agenda 47.

How the Supreme Court bolstered Project 2025

  • "Project 2025 advances an extreme MAGA agenda that is fiercely isolationist, xenophobic and disdainful of democratic norms. It demonizes intellectuals, dismisses experts and idolizes charismatic strongmen,” Marc wrote in a piece this summer.

Trial coming up tomorrow

  • The trial will begin in a lawsuit challenging Alabama’s state Senate districts. The plaintiffs have argued that the map discriminates against Black voters and violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
