Hi, and welcome to Trump Watch! I too have spent weeks out at sea, only to be arrested on fraud charges once I've approached the coast of Connecticut. But really, I'll be escaping DC next week for non-fraudulent reasons so Trump Watch will also be taking a break. Send me your feedback at [email protected], and follow me on Twitter at @jacq_thomsen.

Checking In on Those Trump-Led Voting Lawsuits

The litigation over the November election is piling up, from groups seeking to expand access to mail-in voting or challenge changes at the U.S. Postal Service, to President Donald Trump's own party and campaign's fights over mail-in ballots.

The Trump campaign and Republican National Committee have filed more than 40 lawsuits over voting rules. And outside groups like the ACLU and Common Cause, with the assistance of outside private firms, are going toe-to-toe in filing lawsuits to expand voting access ahead of Nov. 3.
