  • Today's installment of campaign-related news items from across the country.

This decision is significant as it could influence the balance of power in the U.S. House of Representatives, where Democrats are seeking to regain control. The ruling also reflects ongoing national debates about voting rights and representation, particularly in states with significant minority populations.
