6. Judge Temporarily Blocks Tennessee Law Targeting Voter Registration Drives

This is great news https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/judge-blocks-tennessee-voter-registration-drive-law

A federal judge on Thursday put on hold Tennessee’s law targeting voter registration drives.

U.S. District Judge Aleta Trauger said that the groups challenging the law were likely to win the case on the merits and that allowing it to go into effect while their lawsuit is litigated would cause irreparable harm.

She called the law “troublingly vague,” and said the state had failed to explain why the new requirements and penalties were necessary.

“Forcing the plaintiffs to wait while a case winds its way through litigation would mean taking away chances to participate in democracy that will never come back,” she said
