Republicans are challenging extended mail ballot deadlines in at least two states in a legal maneuver that could have widespread implications for mail voting ahead of this year's presidential election. A lawsuit filed last week in Mississippi follows a similar one last year in North Dakota, both brought in heavily Republican states before conservative federal courts. Democratic and voting rights groups are concerned about the potential impact beyond those two states if a judge rules that deadlines for receiving mailed ballots that stretch past Election Day violate federal law. They say it's possible such a decision would lead to a...

Mayes confirmed a Washington Post report last month that her office was investigating the 11 phony Trump electors in Arizona. PHOENIX — Prosecutors in Georgia and Michigan have filed criminal charges over the alleged schemes to keep President Donald Trump in office after his 2020 election defeat. Is Arizona next? "We are taking this investigation very seriously, very solemnly," Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes said Wednesday, in her first public comments about her office's investigation of the attempts in Arizona to overturn Joe Biden's 11,000-vote victory over Trump.

Michigan Democrat Kathy Funk, who served as the Flint Township Clerk, was sentenced to six months of house arrest on Monday for tampering with ballots in the 2020 election. In January, Funk pleaded no contest to misconduct in office, which is treated the same as a guilty plea for sentencing purposes. As the Associated Press (AP) detailed: Funk had won the Democratic nomination by just 79 votes out of about 5,300. A recount was not conducted, and she subsequently won the general election that fall. Investigators say she sabotaged the ballot box after the primary election, an act that would...

But Democrats say they are trying to generate higher-than-expected turnout in the key race.

WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress are jamming their agenda forward with a sense of urgency, an unapologetically partisan approach based on the calculation that it’s better to advance the giant COVID-19 rescue package and other priorities than waste time courting Republicans who may never compromise. The coronavirus pandemic is driving the crush of legislative action, but so are the still-raw emotions from the U.S. Capitol siege and the hard lessons of the last time Democrats had the sweep of party control of Washington. Republicans are mounting blockades of Biden’s agenda just as they did during the...

President-elect Joe Biden is planning to quickly sign a series of executive orders after being sworn into office on Jan. 20, immediately forecasting that the country's politics have shifted and that his presidency will be guided by radically different priorities. He will rejoin the Paris climate accords, according to those close to his campaign and commitments he has made in recent months, and he will reverse President Donald Trump's withdrawal from the World Health Organization. He will repeal the ban on immigration from many Muslim-majority countries, and he will reinstate the program allowing "dreamers," who were brought to the United...

TEHRAN - First results from Iran's disputed parliamentary election showed Islamic conservatives cruising to an expected crushing victory on Saturday on a higher turnout than boycotting reformists had hoped. Interior Ministry figures showed that conservative opponents of President Mohammad Khatami's liberal reforms had won most of the first 71 provincial constituencies declared, out of 289 seats contested in Friday's poll. Some 2,500 mainly reformist candidates, including 80 sitting deputies, had been disqualified by an unelected hardline clerical watchdog, prompting the United States to brand the election neither free nor fair. A conservative victory could spell an end to Khatami's seven-year...
